Baby dumped in washer
By Mavis Toh
THROUGHOUT her nine months of pregnancy, a teenage girl managed to keep it away from her mother and two siblings even though they live under the same roof.
But the secret was out when the 17-year-old gave birth to a baby boy last Tuesday morning.
In a daze and not wanting her mother to find out about the baby, she hid the newborn in the washing machine, under a pile of clothes. It was only when the teenager's 43-year-old mother saw blood stains on the toilet floor and on her daughter's shirt, did her suspicions arise.
Following her instinct, she opened the washing machine's lid, and to her shock, found a quiet and bloody baby under her laundry. She immediately called the ambulance and both mother and child were rushed to the KK Women's and Children?'s Hospital.
A Singapore Civil Defence Force spokesman said that when they arrived at the flat, they found the baby wrapped in a towel on the kitchen floor. He had deep cuts in the neck and chest area. The baby is now in a stable condition at the hospital while the teenager was discharged on Monday.
The girl, a second-year ITE student, is helping police with the investigation. Under the Children and Young Persons Act, one found guilty of ill-treatment of a child or young person can be jailed up to four years or fined up to $4,000, or both.
