Mother in Vienna after gruesome baby finds taken in detention

On Monday, a prison and legal protection judge of the Vienna State Court ordered custody against a 30-year-old woman. This was arrested on Thursday morning after a dead newborn was discovered in a waste container in Kundratstraße, not far from the Vienna Clinic. According to reports, the baby, which was only a few days old, is still said to have lived when the mother brought it out of the clinic. The dismissal of the woman was imminent on Thursday. During her interrogation, the woman said that "family problems" were the reason for her actions. According to the police, there was a massive traumatic brain trauma and several broken bones that the baby had suffered, which indicates a blunt violence.

reasons for the crime

A discomfort about the illegitimate child seems to have played a role in the Turkish community. The mother and father of the girl were not married, which made the child an undesirable appearance within the family, as the "Kronen-Zeitung" reports. In a dramatic act, the woman is said to have wrapped the baby into a plastic bag and threw it against the asphalt several times before taking it off in the garbage container.

The dramatic events of the past few days suggest that the mother gave her child into the world out of fear of social and family reactions. Furthermore, the suspect in the police interrogation stated that she had already checked the devices that were used to monitor the premature baby the day before. Apparently this happened to ensure that no sensation would be caused in the event of an alarm. She had kept her pregnancy secret from the family, which could only increase the pressure on the young mother.

The investigation into this shattering case is in full swing. The public prosecutor will have to examine the further steps in this tragic matter. This incident caused dismay and raises questions about family and social pressure as well as the fate of illegitimate children.
