A 25-year-old Michigan woman Kim Pappas
was charged with homicide after giving birth
to a son in a bathroom stall at work. Kim
didn't tell anyone she was pregnant. On
Thursday last week, she went into labour
while at work, went to the bathroom, had her
baby, a boy, cut the umbilical cord with
cuticle scissors, sealed the baby in a plastic
bag, returned to her desk and hid her baby in
a drawer, officials said during a court
appearance on Friday.
Pappas appeared in court via video link to be
arraigned because she had been denied bail.
After she left the toilet stall, one of her
coworkers who heard moaning went in there
and saw blood all over the place, she didn't
see who was in the stall, only heard moaning,
so she reported the bloodied floor
to management, who called the Police.
Kim Pappas didn't admit what she did until
one of her coworkers saw blood stains on her
dress. They saw blood on her drawer, opened
it and saw the baby's body in there. The
baby showed no signs of life at the office
and was later pronounced dead at the
hospital.
When asked, Kim initially admitted that she
gave birth to the baby but that she
miscarried. Upon further investigation, an
autopsy was carried out which revealed that
the baby was full term and died of
suffocation. Then she admitted to what she
had done.
Kim was then arrested and charged with
premeditated murder. She is currently in jail
without bond. Her Lawyer is trying to plead a
case of insanity but no one is buying it.
