CAMBRIDGE, MD. (CBS) A Maryland woman gave birth inside of a portable toilet and then wandered off… without the baby.

Witnesses say that they saw Candy Michelle Vignari exit the portable toilet covered in blood, reports CBS affiliate WBOC. They then discovered a newborn baby wrapped in a towel in the toilet and promptly called police.

As law enforcement officers arrived, Vignari returned to the portable toilet to retrieve her baby.

Police took the infant from her, says WBOC.

Authorities believe she intended to abandon the infant.

Sure Andacar... You know exactly what was going on with her mind. You must have gotten an advanced prototype of that mind reading machine.

Come on, people. The woman was in shock. Abandon child? No. The woman was in shock.

Nope. This story came out several days ago. She calmly walked off and borrowed a cigarette from somebody. When somebody went to the toilet after her, she nonchalantly told them she'd just had a baby and it was still in there. This wasn't shock. It was pure, cold indifference. In fact, that's what she's beeen charged with.
