Abandoned Baby's Mother A Prostitute With 6 Other Kids

Nassau County police and prosecutor offered grim details behind a 24-year-old woman's abandonment of her days old baby. According to Newsday, Xiomara Gamez "has six other children, ages 8 and younger, and admitted to being addicted to cocaine during her latest pregnancy." Detective Lt. Ray Cote said that Gamez gave birth to the baby girl in the basement of an abandoned building, cared for her for two days, and then decided to leave the baby—wrapped in a blanket and tucked into a shoebox— in a Hempstead apartment building because she knew other Hispanic families lived there. He added, "She was down on her luck. She supported herself by selling herself." A relative called the police with a tip about Gamez, an illegal immigrant, who previously worked in a factory; her lawyer said the other children with her with ex-husband. A judge ordered her held on $250,000 cash bail/$500,000 bond on "first-degree reckless endangerment, abandonment of a child and endangering the welfare of a child."

Let's just put birth control in the water supply. Or start shooting people with medicated darts like they do with deer.

I work near Port Authority and often wish as I walk toward my office that I had such a tool in hand.

She must be loose as a goose. Oops sorry Felixtehcat2, I forgot you are sensitive about that subject.

Why can't these broads get their tubes tied after the first one?

"Sorry baby, nothing personal but this is strictly business."

Why did she bother coming to the US if this is how she was going to live her life? You can be a degenerate with too many kids in El Salvador.

Rocknrope

Illegal immigrant. I called it.

Snoopy

I beat you by about twenty minutes on the illegal immigrant angle.

"Gamez has six kids, ages 9 months to 8 years"

24 years and 6 kids! Her first one was around 16ish...

Snoopy

Actually she has seven kids. I'm not sure what the cutoff is for welfare mothers, perhaps it's six.

Gnomie

Class act, this one

I never paid for it yet and hopefully I will never have to. I can't stand whores, I ignore their flirting even at work. bleh.

Snoopy

What are you, the guy that works the ticket booth at some "movie" house on Ninth avenue?

That's what allows you to go online all the time?

felixthecat2

from you Snoopy, the fatty that spend over 7 hours on a friday evening to post his support to gas geese and his sick desire for his 14 year old hottie neighbor? LOL.

Snoopy

You are one broken record... get a life.

I notice you are posting at 1AM early on a Saturday morning. What happened, did they give you the late shift at the porn parlor ticket booth?
