A woman, kiwi fruit picker, gave birth of a newborn baby in an airplane bathroom & left the baby in the airplane trashbag.The woman was returning from Samoa when she walked off a Pacific Blue flight in Auckland on Thursday, reported the New Zealand Press Association, a cooperative of the country's newspapers. The woman's name was not released by the authority.
On Wednesday, police in New Zealand charged the 29-year-old woman with abandonment and assault -- for giving birth to the child on an international flight and then leaving her, without alerting anyone, in a toilet bin amid bloodied paper towels.
When everybody left plane, a cleaning lady discovered the baby in a restroom inside the Boeing 737. It was about 20 minutes later. Her fellow custodians wrapped the baby in a blanket and handed her to authorities.
Su'a William Sio, a Kiwi lawmaker of Samoan descent, said cultural stigma and the shame of bearing a child out of wedlock were two reasons why a mother might abandon her child.
