Woman, former boyfriend arrested for abandoning body of newborn baby

So, the guy has admitted to killing the child and they're only being charged for abandoning a body? or is this just the initial charge to hold them while they put the case together? Either way, lock these two scumbags up.

Smith, you should know how this work by now. The initial charge is abandoning a body to hold them until cops have more to build the case.

i don't get it. if they "killed" the child, then why would they say that they didn't have money for a funeral? sounds like the baby might have died of natural causes, and then they buried the body because they didn't have enought money for a funeral. that makes a lot more sense then the pair confessing to murder.

So, yes, like I said, then. But in most cases the people held under the first crime while the second is put together deny it, not admit it.

They obviously had the money to have the child delivered in a baby hospital and most likely paid back 60% of the hospital fee. I do not buy the fact they did have money for a funeral. That is just lame excuse to hide the fact they murdered a helpless child.

Let them swing I say if guilty of murder. May the little angel rest in eternal peace.

And you're basing this claim on...?

What a pair of lying scum! He admitted to killing the baby, but they turned around and stated they didn't have any money for a funeral? They should have said, we didn't have the guts to admit we killed the baby because we are both gutless cowards who thought we could get away with it.

Slickdrifter - They obviously had the money to have the child delivered in a baby hospital and most likely paid back 60% of the hospital fee.

The baby was most likely born on the toilet floor at home and just left to die. I cannot express my disgust at the animals who do this sort of thing. It sickens me to my stomach! You think of all the people around the world who cannot have children and then you have this pair of selfish twats just throwing it away like yesterday's trash! Sickening!

So common in Japan I am surprised it makes the news anymore.

Obviously the charge is abandoning a body, it is only a child and a baby at that, so the actual killing of the baby is apparently insignificant and not considered a crime as such.

Umm, no. This is the charge they use all. the. time. while they gather information for the actual murder charge.

Are you new here or something?

In fact in Japan killing ones own child is a right parents seem to have

What? Have you ever even been to Japan? Do you even know anything about it? Or are you maybe living in a different Japan than the one east of China? Because that statement doesn't actually have any basis in reality.

As much as its a crime, I am sad that people feel they can not afford to keep children. Its real that people wages, child care costs don’t seem to match when I add it up. Its not a pleasant outlook having bring a child in to poverty in a 1st world.
