FORT VALLEY, Ga. — Peach County authorities say a newborn girl was found in the toilet of a jail cell.
According to Sheriff Terry Deese, 25-year-old Cornelia Kornegay of Roberta had the infant in a holding cell Wednesday morning and told jailers her baby was in the toilet.
Deese said deputies found the infant upside down submerged in water, but the toddler survived. He said jailers were unaware that Kornegay was pregnant.
Kornegay likely will face a charge of felony cruelty to children and other offenses. She was already being held at the facility for violating probation.
Deese said the infant, a 7 pound, 6-ounce girl was taken to a local hospital and was listed in good condition.
This makes me sick. And what makes me even sicker is that if the baby would have still been inside and she tried to kill it, she would've been completely off the hook.
Just had to share.
