Woman giving birth while handcuffed what are your toughts?

Question

I get the part that they might have done something wrong but let's face it there is no way to run while in labor , i really find it very inhuman but depending on what is the charges and the history of the person ,what do you think?

Answer 1

Did this really happen?

Answer 2

If she got arrested while doing something illegal, oh well.  The law is the law. If she was just crazed because she was in labor and not thinking rationally, (like wanting to kill her husband!) then there was no need for the handcuffs.  When you are in labor, your thoughts are only to get the kid out, and get it out safely.  I haven't heard of that case but would be interested to know the specifics.

Answer 3

  So, what type of person commits crimes and risks being in prison while their child is about to be born?  Some life that kid is going to start with.  I'd say the mother is the cruelest one here.

Answer 4

Hey... if she got pregnant while handcuffed, then let it come full circle!

Answer 5

Yes inhuman treatment.

Answer 6

thats crazy dude

Answer 7

It might be justifiable if the mother threatened to harm the newborn. I don't think it's justifiable simply as punishment.
