An Oct. 20 indictment says 34-year-old Amanda Meade caused the baby girl’s Oct. 15 death by cutting the umbilical cord with scissors.

Johnson County Deputy Coroner Bill Robinson told news outlets that Meade called 911 between 30 minutes to an hour later to report the baby wasn’t breathing. Responders revived the child, who died shortly after arriving at the hospital.

Meade faces multiple other charges, including possession of methamphetamine and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. It’s unclear if those charges are related.

She’s being held on $50,000 bond in connection with the murder charge. It’s unclear if she has a lawyer.

Am I terribly misinformed on how the umbilical is cut? Someone please enlighten me.

If you don't clamp the cord before cutting the baby can bleed to death.

She should have chewed the cord like a cat does. Nature's clamp.
So The real cause was failing to clamp the cord.
Poor wee baby.

I get that the newborn might be able to bleed out or something can't remember why they clamp the cord. So what's with all the miracle babies who survive the dumpster? I can't imagine that their womb landlords took care to clamp the cord before ditching them for dead...

A lot of them do tie them with a shoe lace or something.

Glad I didn't deliver my own kids. I'd be fucked

 

[Sejanus]

Sad and gross

Did she deliver the baby at home or did she cut it later at home?

I can't find anywhere that clarifies.

Oh thanks I didn't think of the clamp, like @Prettypink513 I would have had two dead babies I guess, cause I'm sure wouldn't have thought of it.

I think more information is needed
It really doesn't matter she's a real fuck up anyway
She's a Methhead ..stupid Fucking cunt
I don't think its about a clamp ..

She received to light of a sentence for allowing her child to die.

Something tells me she was more concerned with protecting and saving her drugs than her baby.
