Man Haunted by Image of a Newborn Inside a Garbage Bag He Was Handed Outside of Va. Hospital (But There’s a Happy Ending)

Dec. 5, 2012 4:45pm Liz Klimas

Justin Goldfarb of Portsmouth, Va., was intending to visit his girlfriend at the hospital Saturday when, still outside the building, he was handed a plastic garbage bag that has haunted his dreams in the nights since.

Bloody Baby Dropped Off in Garbage Bag at Portsmouth, Va., Hospital

Goldfarb told WTKR a woman got out of her car as he was about to enter Maryview Hospital and said:

“Hey you, can you come here, and I didn’t think she was talking to me, so I walked over there and she was like, ‘You need to take that bag inside,’” Goldfarb said. “She was nervous, she was scratching her arms and forearms, I guess she was kind of nervous.”

Once inside with the bag, Goldfarb alerted a nurse. Then they looked inside, a newborn baby was seen, bloody and cold to the touch.

“It was dripping out the bottom of the bag, I don’t think it was gushing,” Goldfarb told WTKR.

Thankfully, the nurses say the baby is doing well now. According to WAVY, the staff has named him David, after the Biblical Old Testament king.

“I said if I wasn’t so old and a grandmother, I would stick him in my pocket and just go with him,” nurse Debbie Parker said, according to WAVY.

Parker said if the baby not been brought in when he was, it might have been too late for him.

Here’s WAVY’s video news report:

Although it appears to be a case under the state’s Save Haven Law, which allows parents to leave a baby at a hospital without charges, WAVY reported that police are investigating and charges could be pending. David is under custody of Portsmouth Child Protective Services and will be placed into foster care.

As for Goldfarb who brought the baby in, he told WTKR the horrifying image is one he’ll “remember [...] when I’m old and in a wheelchair.”

2nd video at 1:35 the kid says, “I’m not sure why someone would do that…”

It’s because of FEAR, hopelessness and shame. scratching at the arms is usually toxins coming out of the skin, causes itching. There are many medical reasons for that but the most common one among young people is because of drug use, usually meth.

This is a sad situation, but these surrender laws are meant to do just that in these cases, let the baby live.

I pray God uses this child ‘David’ for HIS purposes and blesses the boy with a desire to know Jesus in his heart.

  I understand your point behind these surrender laws, but someone who would drop off a newborn, cut up and bloody in a trash bag needs to be eliminated. I don’t give a da$N what their motives or reasoning were. They are a piece of human garbage and they need to be incinerated. It absolutely sickens me that we allow such actions to go by on a daily basis, however, if a foreign person on their own property, in their own nation tries to rid themselves of our occupying force, every single one of you here will go on a rant saying that we should kill all Muslims or invade even more nations. I’m sick of this twisted game that you all are trying to play. when the board is overturned, you’ll know why we did so, and you should take the medicine so that your children will live in true Liberty.

  Most VA Hospitals are in the worst part of town. I’m almost afraid to walk after dark at our VA. Luckily, I have a handicapped packard, and the handicapped parking isn’t that far away. My husband just had surgery so I had to leave after dark. This woman, INMHO, was probably a prostitute and druggie that delivered the baby and didn’t want it,or felt it would be better off with someone else. If she ever tries to get her life together, this will haunt her, too.

  @BlessedOne understands grace. Those who have been shown it by the Lord usually know how to extend it to others. This woman needs salvation, and I pray with YOU that Davis is used for God’s purposes. Praises that this man divinely appointed to be right there right then to receive David.

When he gets a little older, he will find that those bad dreams will have turned it something wonderful.
It will stay with him forever and change his life for the better.
As for the mother, she did what was probably the best and hardest thing she could do. God and you should have mercy and forgiveness for her.
Any dumpster would have doomed her soul but lifes little glimmer won the day………

  I’m sorry, but a meth head does not think majestically. After she gave him the kid, she probably pressed her face against his car window debating on whether or not the contents of his vehicle can pawn her another score. I had a nice neighborhood once, until a meth lab moved in. They think of nothing but getting more meth, and how to get it. I live in constant anxiety, but can’t move out, because I’m not on government assistance. I work for a living.

Your posts come off as highly defensive. If you have been involved in an abortion, there is forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

  (1) One does not need forgiveness for what is right.
  (2) I’m about as certain that the stories of Jesus have been greatly exaggerated, as I am that the stories about Zeus, Santa Claus, and the tooth fairy are baseless.
  
  “But fear not; sentiments like his have always been in the minority. Keep a cool head.”
  You wish–have you checked lately, abortion is legal. Also, even IF you view was the majority, even if it was EVERYONE, that wouldn’t make it an iota more CORRECT or TRUE.

It indeed could have been worse. Little David is a miracle.I was adopted at 3 days old by a sweet white couple-best parents ever. Back in the day, a lawyer set up and handled my adoption-quicker and easier that way (the birth mother was 17) I also pray that baby avoids foster care. That man can avoid the bad feelings he associates with those bloody images.If he’ll just think “that baby is alive, he’ll be ok”, replacing negative feelings with good. I pray the Blood of Jesus erases those images. Nothing in this world can have any power over you, if you don’t allow it to. Just the same as, no one can make you feel a certain way,unless you let yourself react.

  How dumb could this police department be? If they press charges for a baby safely delivered..then the news will get around..and the babies will die instead of getting delivered. This woman who gave the baby to the man..she was scratching and he took this as nervousness ..scratching like that is symptomatic of someone on meth..They should be grateful that they got the baby alive and drop it..for the sake of future babies..

Conservative policies don’t make this kind of thing less likely to happen–and if the statistical correlation between degree of conservatism of a state and the state’s rate of teen pregnancy is any indication, there’s substantial reasons to think they may actually make it MORE likely, rather than less.

  Well, at least the baby is alive. With abortion on demand, young mothers are still killing them and dumping them in dumpsters. How is keeping the baby alive and in the hands of a loving family going to hurt the conscience of a young mother rather than a death she’ll always have to live with?

  (1) “Baby” is a very liberal use of the term–if “baby” requires it to be conscious, i.e. human in the only important way, then it’s not a baby.
  (2) Unfortunately the reality is that there IS a shortage of loving parents–if you think there’s not a shortage, explain why there are many children who go unadopted.
  (3) The “baby” (or whatever you want to call it) isn’t the only party with rights–those whose genetics would be passed on ALSO have rights not to be made biological parents against their will. And the pregnant woman has a right to decide how the resources of her body will be used, and whether or not she wants to endure pregnancy and childbirth. At the point where the baby/fetus/zygote (whatever) is not conscious, it can’t be said to be a person and thus have rights. But even if it did, what gives it the right to demand the use of its mother’s body, even if she did not intend to become pregnant and took every precaution to prevent it?
  “With abortion on demand, young mothers are still killing them and dumping them in dumpsters.”
  And is that because they’d RATHER have the child and kill it? Or is it because they never had proper sex education, and access to contraceptives and abortion (exactly the policies conservatives oppose)?
  “…rather than a death she’ll always have to live with?”
  Again, it’s not a human death unless you prove it’s a person to begin with, and that’s EXACTLY where the disagreement is–you beg the question.

  Conctraceptives have been being taught in schools since the 70′s and most schools hand them out. Everyone knows that you can get free contraceptives through most of the family planning groups and information pamplets are everywhere, doctors offices, schools, libraries, welfare classes, wic, ect. I think this arguement of no contraception is almost as ridiculous as the younger generations not using them or the resources.
  I don’t think anyone should judge this woman who had and gave up the child for whatever reason though. This safe haven gives a chance at life no matter how you look at it.

  @The Thirds Archon
  There are so many unadopted babies because the cost is simply too high for the average person. My wife and I are a very loving couple who has tried to adopt kids, but most adoption agencies want in excess of $20,000 in cash just for adoption fees. In addition to that there are legal fees, inspection fees, hospital fees, and more. We were told to expect over $35,000. And after all that, there’s no guarantee you can keep the child you’ve grown to love. In some states the parents can change their mind for a year or longer before the adoption is finalized. We have skimped and saved for years to get to $10,000, and there was no way we could do it. Money is why there are so many unadopted kids, not a lack of loving parents.

The shocking part is not that he was surrendered, but that he’s being placed in foster care instead of immediately put up for adoption. That the person who abandoned him has more rights than he does so that his future has to be put on hold and his stability destroyed, that astonishes and enrages me.

  he goes into foster care and will probably be adopted by the foster family. If they have him for 6 months they get first shot at keeping him. I did it 3 times so I have first hand experience.

  It’s really none of your business whether someone has to carry a pregnancy to term or give birth–I know you think otherwise, but you’re just plain wrong. History isn’t going to go BACK to your way of thinking. You didn’t “lose a grandchild”–you never HAD one in the first place. Until a person brings a another conscious human into existence, there ISN’T another human being present–conservatives’ tendency to conflate conception with consciousness notwithstanding.
  
  Did you know that for every pregnancy, there’s about an equal number of successful conceptions that don’t bind to the uterine wall and are flushed out of the body naturally as part of the menstrual cycle? So for every child and grandchild you have, odds are good that if you apply your definition of “having a child/grandchild” you had have one child/grandchild for each of them that you’ve “lost”–do you ever spend time mourning their “loss”?

  @THIRD ARCHON..Hi..Like I said..babies are perfectly capable of living outside the womb at 5.3 months..Did you know that this would most likely be considered a partial birth abortion?..and that is where the doctor actually murders the completely formed and very alive baby.. by shoving a blade up through the tender part of the back of the neck and up through its brain. I do not understand the need for abortion at this later stage of pregnacy as the child is capable of living on its own and there are a number of people clamoring for children..I see all the time where families get separted and are looking for lost family members..Your children have your DNA..and there is something just unbreakable there..but Archon..the good news from a report of a little boy who got to visit heaven said he met his older sister there..When he told his parent..they, not having told him of a misscarriage said..but you don’t have an older sister..he said .Oh yes..Mommy..she said she died in your stomach..
  THe book is called “Heaven is for real”..All children who have not reached the age of accountability.go straight to heaven when they die..it’s in the Bible Third..Blessings..

  “I don’t care what your definition of life is”
  Much as I don’t care what your’s is.
  “, she was six months along , She / he had a heart beat”
  Your heart is a pump, nothing more. It is your brain that is responsible for your capacity to reason.
  “my comfort is that child is now with christ”
  How do you know that?
  “your feelings thoughts are the same ones that brought us AUSCHWITZ,the killing feilds , when you devalue human life at anyone aspect you devalue all human life”
  Well THAT’S not a slippery slope! There is a VAST difference between an unconscious fetus, and a conscious extant human beings–I’m sorry if YOU can’t appreciate the difference, but that doesn’t make them the same. Do you know why people view your beliefs as ridiculous? Because you make such absurdly hyperbolic statements.

You realize that in the entirety of human history, a child was BOUND to have a near death experience and have a hallucination (which we have no reason to think near-death experiences are anything but) that coincided with reality at LEAST once–can you TEST whether or not this is anything more than coincidence? That’s the problem with anecdotal evidence–even IF you could demonstrate the evidence was accurate, it’s not controlled. Is it supernatural, or coincidence? Does it prove YOUR God,

  “Third..when you were born..could you reason? Maybe..maybe not..did it make you any the less human?”
  Until I could reason, I was not human–that is what is unique to humans.
  “As…coincidence?”
  If you can’t observe the supernatural, what reason to you have to believe it exists?
  It is coincidence in the sense of simultaneity, but it is not MERE coincidence–there is a CAUSAL relationship between injury and expression of pain.
  “Because it happens…children born.”
  What’s your point of reciting a bunch of irrelevant myths? Just because you believe them, doesn’t mean anyone else does or should–proving the TRUTH of these propositions must be demonstrated before they should be considered anything more than interesting stories. Do you believe in Islam, or Hellenism, or Kemetism? Why not? They claim things every bit as extraordinary as the bible–how can you consistently accept the myths of the bible and reject all the myths of over religions?

  Your stance on babies not being “human” until they are “conscious” explains a lot. Apparently the ability to reason is your standard. So children basically under the age of 7 or 8 aren’t humans. Maybe that’s why I’ve seen you make jokes about child molestation on the blaze. To you they aren’t humans anyway. What are they if not humans? Animals? So does that mean you believe in post birth abortion, say up until the kid can prove he’s human by showing he or she can reason?

  @ 3rd I think that I sort of understand what you are trying to say (maybe not) lets see…….you seem to imply that until a baby, fetus, child, is born (by born, I mean takes its first God given breath of life and at that point the soul enters the baby… and it is that first God given breath of life/soul entrance that you call consciousness) until then it is non existent in and of itself. In the womb it is essentially soul-less until the God given breath of life/soul enters the baby once it is “born”. This is why you state the woman never HAD a grandchild, because it never experienced the God given breath of life/soul entrance. The baby was alive and growing in the womb, but not yet complete. Perhaps I am misunderstanding you. Not everyone thinks this way, but I do. I also think the soul leaves the body with the last breath and the corpse is but a shell. I understand that others have a radically different opinion and I do not seek to change their mind or alter their belief. Do I believe it is honorable to protect the baby, fetus, child to enable it to obtain the God given breath of life/soul entrance? Yes, I do. Do I mourn with those whose children do not live? Yes, because those parents wanted the child and we cannot question God’s reasons for not giving the breath of life to those babies. Some like to quote the “knew you before you were in the womb” passage, but I believe this is misunderstood by many. I leave it to them to figure it out.

At least the baby’s mother did what was required by law. She dropped off the baby at a hospital.
She should not be charged with a crime.

We should be thankful that she did the right thing, instead of throwing the baby into the trash.
She must have some horrible things going on in her life, for her to have put her newborn in a bag and hand him to a total stranger.

I pray that the mother gets the help she needs, to deal with her problems.
I pray that Baby David is placed in a loving home.
I pray that Justin Goldfarb has nothing but pleasant dreams, from now on.
God bless them all.

ANY WAY we treat babies except loving, caring, nurturing them is WRONG. Yes, at least this woman has this child. WE MUST do 24/7 educating, advertising…what ever it takes…That woman should have been given a bed in a hospital, allowed to birth the child and receive care and then turn it over for adoption if she can’t provide care or temporary foster care… WHAT I’M FEEBLY trying to say is that the CARE AND NURTURING of ALL BABIES should be OUR JOB 1.

  the reason she did not go in is most likely because she was high on drugs. The itching could be anything from a candida infection to meth use – no way to know. But had she stayed – they might have charged her for drug use, child abuse etc. Remember in the NWO society hopeless people who turn to drugs and pharma products are criminals who need to be sent thru the legal system. Or there would be no jobs for all those atheist lawyers just out of university

As horrible as this is… and it is horrible.. at least the mother DID bring the baby to a hospital instead of doing something even more unspeakable. Sounds like a drug addict mother with the scratching, etc. But she did carry the child to term, and did TRY to leave it at a hospital. I know it’s easy to judge and I don’t condone any of her behavior but I’m trying to have a bit of compassion for a person who is obviously about to hit bottom in her life and perhaps (one can only pray) she will ask forgiveness for this at some point… and by God’s grace, she will recieve it.

  I wouldn’t judge her, except she brought the baby in a plastic bag… That’s insanity…

  HERE IT IS IN STRAIGHT TALK:
  
  Nothing GOOD is going to happen to AMERICA unless we STOP ABORTING BABIES. We know better; we know how to prevent pregnancy; we know it’s WRONG; we have all the means to protect these children of GOD (as we are) and until and unless we all stand up and say NO! To this barbarian practice; until we TEACH what a horrible crime this is in JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL (maybe even 6th grade); UNTIL we stop rewarding the poor for having babies out of wedlock; UNTIL that, we can expect one disaster after another; one loss after another. ABORTION IS WRONG. What ever the reason. (The mother dying from complications with the baby is so rare, there are barely statistics) The CHILD didn’t rape the mother; the Child is innocent. IF people are taught in school that Children are PRECIOUS and very valuable and PART OF OUR ROLE here on earth is to preserve our humanity and killing our children at the rate of 1 per 95 seconds is SINFUL.
  
  WOMEN do NOT have the RIGHT to murder their children. They can prevent pregnancy. THEY can’t MURDER their children. TOUGH if women are the sex that have children. That’s life. GET OVER IT. We need to educate; prosecute and stop this barbarism. IT IS NOT A CHOICE. IT IS A BABY.

  Uh I was joking? I’d say its better to have a child than to not have one. It took me a full year to accept my nephew, born out of wedlock, or even bother knowing his name. But I love the heck out of that kid. It’s sad to say but the Germans made a pretty good case of the unborn being more “worthy” of life than some that are already alive.

I hate stories like this, only because we worked in the foster system for a few years and it sucks (government). This baby will be in foster care forever while the try to talk the mom into being a half-assed mom and then they will rip the baby away from the only mom and dad that he knows and give him back to the lady who threw him away. Why is he in foster care and not just up for adoption. We would totally take him, but that would be way too easy. I also agree that the mom brought him to the hospital, he lived. So let her go, she obviously does not want to be a mother. Uggg so irritating. The government can not run a coat closet.

  JHOUCEK – Good post. I totally agree.
  The Government needs to stay out of the adoption business.
  This baby should be put up for adoption immediately, not put into Foster Care.
  There is a long waiting list of people who want to adopt a newborn.
  All babies deserve to have a Mom and Dad.

That would haunt anybody, I would suspect. Maybe even all of those abort them all libs out there. The last fatality that I worked in law enforcement was an eight year old boy. And, after almost twelve years I still see him clearly. Along with other children who are no longer with us.

  “Save [Safe] Haven Law”…enough said!! Give the woman some credit for remembering she could bring the child to a safe place WITHOUT charges.
  
  HOWEVER, as one reads on..”Charges may be pending”. What is the point to the law then? And next time people, the baby WILL BE left to die instead. There’s always a string/noose somewhere waiting….

  The charges would most likely be due to the severe neglect that the baby had undergone. I don’t think things like that are covered under Safe Haven laws. Yes, you can drop your newborn off at a hospital no questions asked, but you can’t physically abuse the child, drop it off, and then expect to escape being charged with a crime.

  She brought the baby to the hospital in a garbage bag. That alone indicates a disregard for life. We don’t even know if she thought he was alive or not. It is not very common for someone to place a living human being in a garbage to keep it “safe”. That does not constitute dropping off an “unharmed infant/child”. Thus, charges should be pending. If you do not agree- please place a plastic bag over your head and think about for awhile.

So then… how *impossible* does the bureaucracy make it for this infant to be adopted?

Thank You Jesus for looking out for this little guy. No need for abortion you can always give your baby up for adoption.

  They think it is easier to forget about if it is murdered. If it is alive they are always left wondering. This is why they dehumanize them, turning them into the subjects of growths, and tissue rather than humans. This is also why they don’t want women to see the ultra sounds and how human these supposed “growths” appear.

  Back in my twenties I dated a girl whom I later learned had aborted three pregnancies in her college years. Years later when I spoke to her she admitted that she regretted the abortions, one because she now realizes that it was three children that would never walk the planet, and two because the scarring left by the procedures made it impossible for her to carry any future pregnancies beyond a few weeks. She is in her fifties now and I would venture to say she missed out on the best part of life…being a parent. I can’t help but think about how sad she must be at this point in her life.

  @SGT
  (1) Abortions aren’t SUPPOSED to cause infertility and usually don’t–when they are legal they are less likely to. So making it illegal just because this is a POSSIBILITY would only WORSEN the risk. The mere presence of risk is not why we ban or limit things–we engage in a more complex cost-benefit analysis in light of alternatives if any exist (which is why most/all Leftists are ALSO pro-contraceptive availability and find it EXTRA absurd when conservatives aren’t but also claim to be against abortions).
  (2) Just because someone regrets something personally doesn’t mean it’s regrettable. That’s a personal value judgment–and its based upon assumptions of what she THINKS it would have been like to have had the children, which may or may not be accurate. She’s probably not even aware, much less considering, the difficulties of having children, or about a thousand other complexities the difference in her choice would have made. Which isn’t to say her decision WASN’T wrong for her–it may have indeed been (although also whether or not she would have, or could have, reached that conclusion AT the time of the decision is ALSO another matter), but it does mean that that doesn’t make the decision categorically wrong for everyone, doesn’t mean everyone regrets it, doesn’t mean everyone SHOULD regret it, and doesn’t mean it should be an AVAILABLE choice.
  (3) “she missed out on the best part of life…being a parent.” Yeah, many would strongly disagree.

  D&C is usually done to remove all placenta or the woman would bleed to death . The Dr performing the abortion scraps the lining of the uterus leaving scars. Scaring does not allow for future placentas to adhere causing the placenta to slough off and resulting in a miscarriage. I have known women that this has happened to. Old and lonely.

  @Third…
  Dude, you read way too much into that…I was relating one woman’s experience and how it ultimately effected HER. I was not making a general statement about nor an argument for or against abortion. As for your point about parenthood, you’re entitled to your opinion of course, but “many would strongly disagree.”

It could have been worse I suppose. At least the baby wasn’t aborted or left for dead.

  Or failed to be aborted, born alive, then left to die. That’s what Bobo the wonder Marxist supports. It is a macabre, twisted society in which we live.
