Gory Real Life Horror Tales of Baby's and Their Mothers

A newborn baby girl who officials believe was ripped from the womb of a slain Worcester woman is back in Massachusetts and in good health as authorities continue to investigate the killing, law enforcement authorities said today.

DNA tests will confirm that the baby belonged to 23-year-old Darlene Haynes, who was found dead Monday in a closet in her Worcester apartment.

Julia Corey, 35, of Worcester - an acquaintance of Haynes's who aroused suspicion when she showed up with a newborn - faces a charge of kidnapping in Massachusetts for allegedly taking the baby.

The baby is well and in foster care.

The dismembering and beheading of a Texas baby allegedly by his own mother this past Sunday is the most recent example of why new mothers need to be carefully monitored by their physicians during and after their pregnancies, and a call for mandatory postpartum depression screening.

Otty Sanchez, of San Antonio, Texas, told police she "didn't mean to kill her child" and that the devil made her dismembered her newborn son and eat some of his body parts before stabbing herself during a grisly rampage.

Scott W. Buchholz, the infant's father, said Sanchez suffered from postpartum depression and that she told him she was schizophrenic a week before the slaying. Buchholz, who said he is also schizophrenic, said he wants her to receive the death penalty.

Some may recall the case of Andrea Yates - also ironically of Texas - who drowned her five children. She too suffered severe depression and schizopheqria, unbeknownst to her husband who was not allowed access to her diagnosis because of HIPAA laws, despite her telling a doctor she though she might hurt her chidlren.
