This is an odd case, at least in Canada when a women finds out she’s pregnant then you’re assigned your doctor who may or may not deliver your baby but help you through the pregnancy, you’re assigned your first ultrasound, basically you’re put into the system and will be followed up on

Is it different in the US? Her gynaecologist found out she was pregnant then nobody followed up on it till she way later and the gynaecologist asked what happened to the baby

Also i think this whole story wad already in an epsidode of SVU

As I recall, they couldn't prove the baby ever drew breath so she got away with it. Akso stabler was conflicted and cstholic but this didn't stop him from roughing some people up

My point was more that it seems like she made absolutely no effort to see if the baby was alive or saveable, which seems like a guilty thing to do.

Like how the Stanford kid got up and ran when those two dudes found him, that’s what a guilty person does.

I suppose the subtext here is that her parents are so religious or strict that she maybe couldn’t have done that, but ultimately the distinct lack of “and then I went and asked for help” is the bonkers part that really muddies the waters for me, personally.

What the gently caress is she supposed to do, give mouth to mouth to a gooey corpse fetus?

Exactly it’s the system failing her. You can’t expect a KID to be able to handle a pregnancy and birth, hell there’s a lot of adults who are idiots and smoke or drink, partake in risky behaviour while pregnant. There’s a whole list of poo poo, pre natal vitamins, foods or items to avoid (litter boxes), signs and symptoms of something going wrong and when to head to a hospital. A scared kid with no direction you can’t expect her to be a rational actor

What was she gonna have the kid in the bathroom and cut the umbilical cord with a....pair of dirty scissors? Then what was her plan?

Did you read literally any of the thread?

She found out like a week before delivering the baby prematurely that she was even pregnant.

What long term gynecological care was she to be delivered here

She didn't want to acknowledge that she could have been pregnant and didn't know she was.

She wasn't going in for ultra sounds and hoping with fingers crossed for a successful conception, let alone pregnancy.

Yes.
Ideally everyone should be given full access to 110% of every aspect of care that saves every single life possible including this child and the mental health care that so clearly would have helped this prospective mother.

Do you think I'm actually arguing that?
Of course that SHOULD be the case.
It's not.
Unfortunately, it can't be in any society for a multiple variety of reasons.
What I'm saying is, she was failed on so many multiple levels that marching in here and marveling at the wonders of Canadian socialism do not address this issue, and you come off looking stupid.

Do you know if she was offered treatment and refused?

If someone in your ideal treatment plan refused treatment because of mental illness or personal choice, what is your solution to this dilemma?

Especially given a false diagnosis.

Imprisoning them in a hospital?

alternately, legal abortions so that people who so obviously don't want to have a child that they starve themselves to avoid a baby bump don't put themselves at risk

"Literal child, hosed up by lack of non-abstinence only sex education, religious numb-nuts forcing their dark ages beliefs about abortion upon everybody and unrealistic beauty ideals leading to a diagnosable mental condition, panics when she gives birth to a stillborn child only a week after finding out and 6 weeks before the doctor predicted, and instead of getting the help she needs to get over the traumatic incident is given a criminal record which is sure to not gently caress over the rest of her life instead of a hosed system doing some introspection because it might mean realizing it is, in fact, the problem, not the child."

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
my 2 cents: this was a sad stupid tragedy that shouldn't have become international news
you don't maliciously have a preterm birth. even supposing the worst, that it was born unexpectedly, premature but viable, and she killed it out of neglect or panic, why the gently caress would a guilty person, after hours of interrogation, over-admit to a crime? why would she confess to burning the body if it hadn't actually been burned?
I'm just not seeing a scenario where she's a criminal mastermind or even just a particularly lucky and psychopathic moron

her story, where the baby came much sooner than expected, and she cradled it for hours waiting for it to move or breathe before accepting that it was dead, and burying it just because she didn't know what else to do, is a stupid thing to do, but a completely believable reaction for a shellshocked, provincial teenager suddenly confronted with, like, the most traumatic possible outcome to a problem she'd been avoiding and thought she would have another 8 1/2 weeks to come to grips with

it just seems way more likely that she didn't know what was happening until it was too late to fix, her doctor misread the signs and gave her bad information, and something terrible and tragic happened, but there was nothing that could be done at that point and she just made a stupid mistake trying to deal with it by herself.
she buried it where she could see it from her bedroom window and marked the grave with a flower. she didn't throw it in the trash like it was a problem she needed to hide, she gave it a burial. when she clearly thought she could keep it a secret, no eyes on her, just her the dead body and the lord, she, to the best of her ability, gave it a burial like it was a person worthy of honor and respect. that's how a person with so little regard for it that she killed it just so she wouldn't have to deal with it would act?

if anything she's a victim of ohio's poo poo rear end sex education, and ohio's poo poo rear end law enforcement rushing to judgement and coercing a false confession, and tabloid vultures and moral crusaders rushing to center themselves and manufacture a villain in somebody else's tragedy
it would be traumatic enough by itself, but for the rest of her life she's going to have people who somehow think they're doing a good thing telling her what a terrible person she is. she doesn't need jailtime, she needs peace and understanding and to get the hell out of ohio. the idea that it needs to be any worse for her than it is is vindictive
