Via CNN: Colombia police report abduction by C-section
Police said Tuesday they have arrested a woman in the abduction of an unborn baby who was cut from its mother’s womb while she was unconscious.Sol Angela Cartagena said she was with her 2-year-old daughter when she had a drink at a hospital cafeteria in Girardot, southwest of Bogota, and suddenly felt lightheaded.
“When I woke up I was in the countryside with my 2-year-old daughter beside me,” the woman told RCN TV, adding that someone had performed a Caesarean section on her and taken her baby.
Carlos Cespedes, a gynecologist, confirmed that someone had removed Cartagena’s baby. Apparently Cartagena had been drugged, causing her to black out before the operation. It was unclear where it was performed, but authorities said Cartagena was lucky to be alive.
Utterly insane.
