I am more and more disheartened by people on a daily basis, why can't these sick SOB's put their baby's up for adoption if they do not want them!!
CURRITUCK COUNTY, N.C. (WAVY) - A Currituck County teenager is accused of using scissors to stab her infant daughter to death, according to the autopsy report.
The autopsy report was released Jan. 10 by the N.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner this week.
Rebecca Blackmore is charged with first degree murder for the death of her baby. She was released on a $250,000 secured bond.
According to court documents, Blackmore was brought to Princess Anne Hospital in Virginia Beach after her mother found her in the bathroom at home with blood in the bathroom on June 17, 2011.
In the course of the evaluation at the hospital, it was discovered that Blackmore had been pregnant and admitted to having delivered the infant at home.
According to information provided to the local medical examiner, the patient stated that the infant was born not breathing and blue between midnight and 1 a.m. She reported stabbing the infant with a scissors, wrapping the body in a blanket, and placing it in a closet.
The autopsy examination revealed a term infant who appeared otherwise healthy but had stab and cutting wounds on the chest and neck. External and internal injuries were consistent with the infant being alive at the time of the injuries, the autopsy report said.
Neighbors have mixed feelings about the case.
Larry Ashbrook said, "I think it's terrible if that's the way it went. I'd like to know both sides before I make any judgment. It's too many quick judgments in this world."
Neighbor Sherry Dudley countered, "I think she should be tried for murder and put away for whatever they want to put her away for. You don't kill a kid."
