A Polícia de Nova Jersey, nos Estados Unidos, procura em lixões do estado e da Pensilvânia o corpo de um bebê que aparentemente foi jogado no lixo, enquanto segue a polêmica entre a mãe e o hospital sobre se a criança estava viva ou morta no momento do parto, informa hoje a imprensa local.
Kalynn Moore, de 26 anos e mãe do bebê, denunciou hoje que seu filho nasceu em 21 de dezembro, um mês antes do previsto, no Christ Hospital em Jersey City, Nova Jersey, e que o carregou brevemente em seus braços.
Segundo a mãe, os médicos ficaram 20 minutos tentando estabilizar o ritmo cardíaco do bebê antes que ele morresse.
Ela disse, além disso, que sua sobrinha Nicia Royster acompanhou uma enfermeira nesse dia deixar o corpo do bebê no necrotério do hospital.
Moore exibiu hoje, em coletiva de imprensa, uma foto que a mostra carregando seu filho, chamado por ela de Bashere Davon Moyd.
De acordo com a Polícia, o corpo da criança teria sido jogado no lixo, mas não se sabe quando.
O advogado da família disse não descartar um processo contra o hospital e que não há razão para que o corpo de um bebê, vivo ou não, seja jogado no lixo.
O hospital assinalou, através de sua porta-voz Bárbara Davey, que continua "cooperando com a investigação e fazendo todo o possível para encontrar os restos da criança", que segundo a instituição, quando veio ao mundo já estava morta.

Baby's Corpse Thrown Out With Hospital's Trash

Police are searching in New Jersey and Pennsylvania garbage dumps for the body of a baby boy delivered at Jersey City's Christ Hospital which was apparently thrown out with the trash, authorities said today.
"This has become a search and recovery," Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said this afternoon.
Hospital officials say the baby was stillborn when delivered by a Jersey City woman, Kalynn Moore, 26, on Dec. 21 and was brought to the hospital morgue. The family disputes the claim, saying that the baby was alive when delivered and declared dead 20 minutes later.
When a funeral home representative went to the morgue to pick up the body on Jan. 2, the baby could not be found, DeFazio said.
That's when police became involved and the investigation determined that the baby's body was likely discarded in trash and the trash was already gone. Jersey City Police and law enforcement officials in Pennsylvania are searching for the body in garbage dumps. Dogs from the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office are assisting, DeFazio said.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, and we hope to bring this unfortunate situation to a resolution as soon as possible," said a hospital spokeswoman in a statement.

The mother of the baby discarded in the trash at Christ Hospital said today her hurt runs deep.
"It's like they treated my son like he wasn't anything and it hurts so bad because I waited eight months for my son and then to just turn around and you lose him," said Kalynn Moore whose son Bashere Davon Moyd, Jr went missing from the hospital morgue.
The mother said that on Dec. 21. doctors noticed the baby had a shallow heart beat and called for an emergency Cesarean. She was anesthetized and fading in and out of consciousness during delivery. Afterward, a nurse told her the baby was dead.
"They said his umbilical cord separated from the placenta and it was needing oxygen and they told me that they tried to work on it for 20, 25 minutes but there was nothing they could do," Moore said at a press conference in the Jersey City office of her attorney, Michael Anise.
The lawyer said that on Friday a hospital spokesperson and a chaplain came to her house and told her the baby's body was missing.
"They told her 'Look, we can't sugar coat this for you,'" Anise said, paraphrasing the police officers who visited the house. "'The hospital, they made a tremendous mistake and they threw your baby out with the trash.'"
Anise said a lawsuit will be filed but the priority now is recovering the body of the infant.
In the meantime, police have tracked down the remains to a garbage dump in Kentucky.
But in a statement tonight, Police Chief Tom Comey said he didn't know if the remains had already been incinerated.
