BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) - A new nonprofit group is setting up in Kern County, and it may be here just in time to respond to the death of the baby found abandoned in an Oildale trash can.Eyewitness News discovered the Garden of Innocence project has been working with the Historic Union Cemetery, and its hope is that the infant from Beardsley Avenue can be laid to rest in the new space.The body of the newborn girl was found last Friday morning. Exactly one week later, crews planted an oak tree in the plot at Union Cemetery designated for a local Garden of Innocence. While the tree was going in, cemetery officials and the Garden of Innocence founder were meeting.
God, ANOTHER baby dumped in the trash? I suppose that unbreakable Moo-Loaf bonding thing doesn't apply to all."We're just waiting to see if the county would release the baby to us, so that we can take care of it," Garden founder Elissa Davey told Eyewitness News. "It's going to be their decision what they want to do. But, we'll be ready." Cemetery General Manager Dave Hepburn said his organization was approached by Davey several months ago.
"We just felt, and I just felt, very good about it as a concept," he said. "I also felt good that we had space that we could put it in." He said Union Cemetery donated 1,200 square feet.Hepburn said a granite bench and children's locks will eventually be added.
I am sorry, but "children's blocks" at an abandoned baby cemetery? Isn't that a little creepy? And the bench, for what, I wonder? WHO wants to sit and gaze at a bunch of abandoned baby graves? I can think of few things more depressing than sitting on a bench like that overlooking THOUSANDS of unwanted babies their moos thought so little of as to dump them in the trash.Garden of Innocence said it's an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit, based in Carlsbad. Davey said they have gardens in 22 counties in California and sites in St. Louis and in New York. She said they're working in various other areas, and their goal is having a Garden of Innocence in every state. "Every child deserves a resting place," Davey said. "Every child deserves somebody that will care for them, somebody that'll pay attention to the fact that they were once here."
:headbrickWhat IS shocking is that with all this pro-life nonsense about refusing women abortions and making them as difficult as possible to get and attaching so much stigma to it with shame and picket lines, that anyone is surprised at all when numerous full term babies are dumped. I suppose baby dumping is preferred to an abortion to these people. Are there SO MANY babies dumped they need these special cemeteries in all 50 states? Why not spend that money they have already wasted on the 22 "gardens" and feed a homeless person or something, you know, help someone who is ALIVE? Don't they understand the deceased baby no longer NEEDS "..somebody that will care for them, somebody that'll pay attention to the fact they were once here...", what, for five minutes?
That baby is wherever babies go when babies die and has NO NEED what so ever for anything like this! They are doing it to pat themselves on the back for a feel good moment with ZERO regard to all the people, including babies, across the globe, who need help NOW, not after they have succumbed to hunger or disease! Kern County Sheriff's spokesman Ray Pruitt said the coroner's office here has an agreement with the organization. Pruitt explained that various local funeral homes will volunteer to take the body of an abandoned baby, then the nonprofit will provide a burial service and headstone.
MORE wasted money and resources on the dead who will never know the difference.down
Davey said the headstone will include a name for the baby, and people donating to the charity are given the honor of selecting a name."It will be anybody in the county can name a baby," she explained. "We have a list and we start to keep track of it, and when we're getting a baby, then the next one on the list gets chosen."
Oh, FFS! This is the biggest waste of time, resources, land, and money I DO believe I have ever heard! Cremate the poor things, say a prayer, and be done with it! :bayybee
Davey said the group feels it's important the child has the human dignity of a name. The headstone also lists only the date the child is buried, since they don't know when these babies were born or died.
So, NAME the things and move along! Make a list somewhere and keep track of it if need be, but why waste all this time and money on fucking cemeteries for abandoned babies! Do they think it will become a tourist attraction? "Hey kids, wanna go see the abandoned baby graves or go to Disney Land?"The Kern County Sheriff's Office is still investigating the death of the baby found in Oildale, and officers say they want any information from the public. People can call (661) 861-3110 or the Secret Witness hotline at (661) 322-4040. Investigators believe the infant had been left in the trash can for no more than about a day.
Blah, blah, blah. Like all the others, the Moo is LONG gone and will never be found.Davey said she thinks about the final moments in the lives of these children."I wonder what the child felt. I wonder if they were alive," she said. "You also wonder about the parent, and what were they thinking? And were there problems that were going on in their lives that would make them do that?"
The babies weren't thinking anything and DUH, of COURSE there were, "...problems that were going on in their lives......"Hepburn is glad Union Cemetery can be part of the new project."It's not who's right in some situations, but it's what's right," he said. "And I think it's right for us to provide this burial space and the care forever. That's what we do."
Yeah, that's WHAT they do, which is continually waste money on lost causes for no particular reason other than it makes them feel good. It won't be helping the dead baby, the parents and/or family of the baby won't be stopping by, and anyone who does make the dead baby site a place to visit is a fucking weirdo and freak.Cemetery manager Hepburn said the whole project should be ready in 30 to 45 days, but they hope to take this child first as part of the new partnership with Garden of Innocence.That group's founder said they have a clear mission."Because these children never get to choose their path of life, they never got to have a chance," she said. "We want the community to come together and take care of a child that nobody else cared for. We want to love it, and show it dignity."
They are NOT "taking care" of those babies! Those babies are DEAD and no longer need "care". I wish to God they'd stop claiming they are "helping" or "caring" for these dead babies when there are plenty of LIVE ones they could help, right here in the good ole US of A.:smn
