Cops: Mom Threw Baby From Parking Garage

No motive known; child is 'clinging to life'

(Newser) – A baby is in critical condition after he fell from the fourth story of a parking structure in California last night—and police accuse his own mother of tossing the seven-month-old over the edge. Police say Sonia Hermosillo, 31, threw her own son from the Children’s Hospital garage then drove away, KTLA reports. A witness saw the baby fall but did not see exactly what happened; police later spotted Hermosillo leaving the parking structure on surveillance video and found her, four hours later, near the hospital without her baby in the car.

Meanwhile, her husband reported Hermosillo and their son missing. She was arrested last night on a charge of attempted murder; police say the child is “clinging to life.”

Poor sweet baby. It's a terrible world when a baby isn't safe with the mother who should protect and care for the child. The being who gave birth to child isn't worth_______.

gay or hetero....we can all be nuts...it sucks that the ones that get the pain dealt upon them are the ones that cannot defend themselves. there is a special place in hell for this woman...after she pleads insanity to the courts and gets some good drugs from the nuthouse.  and no one even knows why she did it.

I as a child free homosexual, keep reading stories like this and can't help but think... tell me again why am I not "fit" to raise a child?  All those kids being killed, sold, etc, are products of a heterosexual lifestyle!
