Brazil: 7 M O Thayller Thrown Off 118ft Bridge By Mom & Survives

[Sugar Cookie]

A seven-month-old baby has miraculously survived being thrown off a 118ft bridge by her own mother in north-east Brazil.

Carla Regina Mendes, 23, threw baby Thayller over the railings on José Sarney Bridge, in Sao Luis, north east Brazil, on Sunday afternoon in front of shocked passersby.

The child had already sunk deep into the swampy river when two quick-thinking off-duty police officers got to her, just in time before she disappeared underneath the surface.

Baby Thallyer suffered a blow to her head and bruising to her back after landing in a stagnant stretch on the Sao Francisco river.

Ms Mendes, who was arrested at the scene, later told police to be suffering from mental health problems and depression.

She has been sent for psychiatric tests and could face charges of attempted murder depending on the outcome of the evaluations.

Officers Danilo Pestana and Herberth Ribeiro were returning together from football training around 2pm on a motorbike when they noticed a commotion involving a woman on the bridge.

Witnesses shouted that the young mum had just thrown her child over the edge and into the river below.

The officers immediately plunged into the mud, which reached up their waist, to rescue the little girl who had lost most of her clothes and was only wearing a nappy.

Officer Pestana told local media: 'It was difficult to locate the baby, we could only see her head sticking out of the sludge. We could see she was being suffocated and that mud was in her mouth.

'The mud hampered our movements. It slowed us down and it was hard to get through. But as we got closer to the child, she saw us and started to cry and tried to get herself out.

'Her desperate cries were heartbreaking and we pushed hard to reach her before she sunk beneath the mud. When we got to her and pulled her out she cried loudly in our arms and that was the best sound we could hear as it made us so happy that she was alive.

'Thank God, we managed to get there in time because she would have certainly choked to death,' a relieved Officer Pestana said.

A paramedic quickly checked over the bewildered toddler and cleared her airways before transporting her to hospital.

The rescued infant was taken to Djalma Marques Hospital where she underwent a battery of tests and is recovering from her injuries.

Hospital director, Rafael Coringa, said to TV Mirante: 'The baby's fall onto a section of mud helped to dampen and limit her injuries.

'She suffered minor bruising to her back and her head. A series of tests confirmed there are no serious fractures and she is in a stable condition.'

According to the young mother's family, the woman was hospitalised three times in Sao Francisco mental health unit in 2017 for psychiatric disorders. During her stay, relatives allege the woman was raped and the child is the product of the sexual abuse.

Her step-father, identified as Paulo, reportedly told police he withdrew his stepdaughter from the hospital after discovering she was six months pregnant.

The family made a formal complaint against the clinic alleging neglect and omission of care and relatives have been waiting for the case to be investigated.

Detective Ronilson Moura said: 'We have sent the mother for psychiatric tests to assess her mental health problems. If it's proved she suffers from mental illness, we will ask for her to be detained in a clinic for treatment and charges may be brought depending on the level of her health problems.'

He added an inquiry has been stepped up into the claims of an sexual assault at the mental health hospital where the suspect was interned last year.

In an update on the baby's health, the hospital confirmed Thayller has been transferred to a paediatric ward where is she being kept under observation.

'The baby will remain in the unit while new exams monitor her state of health. She will only be discharged after a full investigation by child protection services and a judge decides who the child should be given to,' explained Mr Coringa.

'In the meantime, (Thayller) is getting a lot of care and attention from the nurses which includes cuddling, kisses and playtime. Because of the unusual circumstances in which she came to us it is important to rebuild her wellbeing and restore her confidence after this trauma.'

Ms Mendes' mother has already indicated she wishes to take over the care of her grandchild.

Throw that bitch off a bridge. Fuck her and that convenient excuse of mental illness. This story made me mentally ill.


Aww what a pretty baby girl. So undeserving. She’s holding on to that nurse so tight. I bet she’s terrified of everything. Glad the little survived.

Amazing the baby survived and well done to the off duty cops. I bet that baby crying was a good sound when they got her out, generally means no brain damage etc.

They will easily be able to check if she was hospitalized. I won't pass judgement yet.

she cried loudly in our arms and that was the best sound we could hear as it made us so happy that she was alive.

Oh this is sweet.

Ms Mendes' mother has already indicated she wishes to take over the care of her grandchild.

I hope someone tells this grandmother NO ... because she obviously sucks at motherhood ... Already has a daughter that throws babies off of bridges.

Good lord, this woman had mental health issues severe enough to be admitted, was raped and impregnated by someone at the hospital, of course abortion is illegal in Brazil so she had no choice but to bear her rapists child while still suffering from mental illness, is withdrawn from care after her condition was discovered, and was left responsible for caring for this poor baby while she couldn’t even care for herself. Jesus fucking Christ.

Oddly I am holding back on this one.
IF she was...
raped,
hospitalized,
is screwed in the head,
I will have a modicum of compassion for her plight.

The infant needs to be taken and placed far from this DNA trail.
Give it a chance at a good life.

Getting back to mumsie Toss Across.
IF she is lying about being raped, her entire story falls apart.
In which case drown her in quicksand to the delight of spectators.
Then get everyone back to being nude, fucking on the beach showing off their Brazillian wax jobs and bleached anuses.
