A newborn baby boy was eaten by monitor lizards after being dumped next to a pond.

 

The infant was discovered by a group of boys who went to play by the waterside in Nakhon Si Thammarat, southern Thailand on May 11. Nong Ake, 10, reported the find to a security guard.

 

The child told police he smelled something strange then noticed a black bag next to the pond, which he went to look at.

 

The youngster said he saw the dead infant inside and the baby’s internal organs had been ripped out. Police arrived and found that the baby had been dead for one or two days.

Horrible... not a good article to start the day...

[Relocated]

It won't be hard to find the mother if they really want to investigate.

Not that there is a nice way to kill someone but this is horrible.  This time of year the baby probably baked to death first.

[Matzzon]

Just a sad story. Nevermind who reported it. I am pretty sure that a thai mother or a thai father left the baby in the bag to die. That´s the bad thing here. Nor how any reporter describes everything around, or that animals are behaving like animals. It´s all about humans behaving like animals and far below that level too.

Based on what?  Stillborn births do happen, you know.

No baby hatches at fire departments or hospitals, abortion Illegal.  Even harder to find is a veterinarian to euthanize an old pet that will die anyway, suffering. Backward policies have consequences.

Horror as newborn baby eaten by monitor lizards...

Missleading headline. Should read: 'Discarded newborn partly eaten by lizards.'

 

[Ventenio]

Think of ALL your experiences, emotions, friends (maybe a stretch for TV, lol), accomplishments, happy moments, times in love, etc.....

 

and it's all taken from this innocent human being. 

 

i can't even think of how this might be some sort of "misunderstanding" by anyone......  

 

on the scale of what's important, newborns should be at the top of the list

Based on common sense and percentual statistics on how many abandoned babies is alive vs stillborn. Both you and me know that I have the percentage and the statistics on my side.

[TooBigToFit]

We live in a world of secrets. There are mothers who dumped their kids, fathers who abandoned them, murderers, thieves and rapists all around among us. The people who did all the shooting during the protests in the past decades. The people who murdered and hide the bodies. All these people are out there in society. We live in a world of secrets. A world of people who have never faced justice for their actions.

[Knocker33]

Sad. There seem to be a few babies being abandoned. Tough times with no money for another mouth to feed.

Both you and everyone else know that you have no idea... 

 

This newborn could have been alive when dumped, a still birth or died shortly after birth - We'll never know until the mother is found and questioned. Anything else is pure speculation and to try and back that up with the claim that 'statistics on my side' is the claim of someone who for want of a better description 'is absolutely full of it' !! Hilarious !

stillbirths happen.  irrelevant.  no bearing on this report.

 

a couple months ago, tv had a report of a mother leaving a baby in a bag next to a dumpster.

 

the month before that, a baby had been buried alive, only saved when a dog started barking at the spot.

It has significant bearing....  The difference between disposing of a still birth and leaving a live infant to die is significant. One is in effect, murder, the other while tragic is littering.

 

The bearing on this report is whether a live infant was eaten, or if the monitor lizard just ate the remains, still extremely gorish but far less severe than eating a live infant.

[Why Me]

If the baby was stillborn it couldn't have been hard to dig a couple of feet and bury it so that animals didn't get to it. And if it were alive then it takes a very special sort of person to take a breathing whimpering baby and stuff it into a bag and toss it by the water.

 

Methinks that maybe there's a kid in the sky somewhere that was just spared a childhood of pain and misery.

But surely some respect should be given, at least a burial and a prayer ?

[norfolkc]

The lizard was doing what comes naturally to him, the human who dump the poor child where not doing that

"...statistics on how many abandoned babies is alive vs stillborn".

There are no such statistics, both you and I know that.

[CanadaSam]

I cant believe some of the childish feuds that take place on this site, and the rest of us have to suffer through two adolescent adults paring away at each other taking up a large portion of the thread, that has nothing to do with their stupid argument.

 

Can you PLEASE argue over PM with each other, ALL of you argumentative and selfish members, who care not about the rest of us, trying to read the normal, usually insightful comments about these events.....

[CanadaSam]

And in an attempt to end the argument, we all know that in case of stillborn, there are many options for the parents, without repercussions, because the death was natural.

 

If the child was put into a bag and dumped near the water, it suggests something different and certainly nefarious, because a normal human being would want to deal with their child's dead body in a more humane manner.

 

In my honest opinion, this was a person trying to get rid of an unwanted baby, and sadly, most probably alive when abandoned.

 

I hope he/she has a better life up there with God, or wherever their spirit is now.

[Rhys]

Rest in Peace Little one.. you ended up in a better place. ...

[BobBKK]

Probably a couple teens who didn't know what to do with their stillborn baby RiP.

 

I doubt it was alive when left and ya can't blame the lizards no matter what David Icke says!
