Headline: Jamaican Student Abandons Newborn in North Myrtle Beach: Shocking Arrest & Latest Updates
In a startling incident that has caught the nation’s attention, a Jamaican student in the United States, here on a J1 visa, has been apprehended after leaving her newborn daughter in the bushes of North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, sending shockwaves through the community.
Britney Wheatle, a 21-year-old, is now facing serious charges of unlawful conduct towards a child. This shocking development unfolded on Sunday, placing her in police custody. Recent reports suggest that she remains held on a US$10,000 bond, a decision that was made public on Monday afternoon.
The ramifications of these actions are severe, potentially leading to a maximum of 10 years imprisonment if Wheatle is convicted. The legal consequences are substantial, underscoring the gravity of this incident.
Wheatle, who was apprehended at Walmart where she was employed, reportedly admitted to giving birth within an apartment complex. Subsequently, she walked to the nearby Live Oak Court area to leave the infant, who is believed to be less than a day old.
The astounding turn of events unfolded when a resident of Live Oak Court, Robyn Cain, made an incredibly fortunate discovery. Cain was credited with finding the newborn nestled among the bushes, unclothed and lying in the dirt. This heart-wrenching scene was relayed by Pat Wilkinson, the Public Information Officer of the North Myrtle Beach Police Department, during a late Monday news conference.
Remarkably, the unnamed baby girl, despite the ordeal, is in stable condition at the Grand Strand Medical Centre. Medical professionals found no evidence of abuse, providing some relief in an otherwise troubling situation.
Digging deeper into the case, Wilkinson unveiled additional details. Cain had encountered Wheatle earlier that fateful Sunday, offering her a ride as she headed to her workplace at Walmart. This chance encounter would later prove to be a pivotal piece in resolving this disturbing mystery.
Sunday evening saw Cain on her usual stroll, only to be startled by what initially sounded like animal cries emanating from the bushes. To her surprise, what she found was not a kitten but an abandoned baby girl. Displaying extraordinary compassion and quick thinking, Cain dialed 911, leading to the swift hospitalization of the infant.
Law enforcement’s subsequent investigation, driven by information shared by Cain, successfully tracked down Wheatle at her place of employment. There, she reportedly confessed to both giving birth in a nearby apartment and subsequently abandoning the child in the Live Oak Court vicinity.
This ongoing situation has taken another turn as Wheatle received medical evaluation at the hospital before being transferred to the J Reuben Long Detention Centre. Her bond-related custody remains unchanged, underscoring the serious nature of the charges she faces.
Stay tuned as more updates emerge in this developing story that has captivated the nation. Society grapples with questions of compassion, responsibility, and the search for understanding in the wake of this shocking incident.
