Torrez set to plead in baby theft case
A woman accused of slashing a young mother's throat and stealing her baby in 2006 pleaded no contest today to first-degree assault, armed criminal action and child kidnapping.
Shannon Torrez, 38, of Lonedell, did not admit guilt in the crime but acknowledged by her plea that a jury would be likely to convict her..

Actually, I think the exact OPPOSITE is the case. Frankly, this woman was desperate for a child, something I cannot blame ANY woman or man for.... though I am a little puzzled as to why she didn't just have a one night stand, get pregnant, and have a child of her own. This could have been avoided if we would stop telling women and girls that it is 'wrong' to have children outside of marriage, yet it is 'right' to adopt children who have been born outside of marriage. |

Her slashing the mothers throat could have been avoided if society had encouraged her to get pregnant out of wedlock? LOL. |

You mean it doesn't make sense to you? |

It's complex this wanting a baby, not being able to have a baby, and HURTING A PREGNANT WOMAN to get HER baby.....right off the bat, to me, this "wannabe mom," has head trips that won't get her beyond a few days of being with the baby. She'd only give the kid head problems, not at all addressing the real mom's anguish, and the real dad's anguish on losing the child. I saw a special recently on this subject and it is a mental illness. Most childless woman (not by choice) learn to accept that awful hurt, those others, hurt others to get a child, that they aren't emotionally equipped to raise. Sad.

Absolutely NO sympathy for this twisted woman.
She knew what she doing was wrong & I hope she gets the maximum. She doesn't even deserve a doll. |
