Woman Gives Birth at Festival, Leaves Baby To Die and Keeps Partying
CCTV footage captured the moment a woman gave birth during a street festival before leaving her baby to die so she could continue partying.
The woman, who had been celebrating the Songkran Festival in Bangkok, delivered the child in a parking lot before walking away as though nothing had happened.
Police named the woman as 27-year-old Piyathida.
In the video, she appears to be doubled over in pain as she staggers around with her hands on her hips before pulling down her trousers and squatting.
The Daily Mail reported that Piyathida then slowly limps away and returns to the festival outside Rotsarin Village in Bangkok’s Don Mueang district on April 14.
Later, a group of bystanders can be seen looking around the area where the baby was discovered.
Although the infant was found alive at the time, tragically, it could not be saved.
Watch:
Piyathida was reportedly seen splashing water with friends nearby while visibly bleeding from her legs.
She initially denied being the child’s mother but later confessed and was rushed to hospital.
During a police investigation, Piyathida was reportedly under the influence of alcohol and said she had two other children and two ex-husbands.
Both children are now under the care of her former partners’ relatives.
Superintendent Phuwadon Aoonpho of Don Mueang Police Station identified the woman as 27-year-old Piyathida.
He assured the public she would be held accountable for her actions.
Her 20-year-old friend, Am, told the media that she decided to cut ties with Piyathida due to her cruelty.
Am, who noticed Piyathida was pregnant, asked if she was sure about joining the Songkran festival. However, Piyathida claimed that she was gaining weight.
