Ex-Porsche Lawyer Sentenced After Throwing Her Newborn Out Window So It Wouldn't Disrupt Her Career
German exec jailed 7.5 years for manslaughter after dropping newborn from the window, claiming stress at work led to the accident.
The motive behind Jovanovic's actions was reportedly her fear that motherhood would jeopardise her professional career as a lawyer for a prestigious car brand.

You're a fucking lawyer for a prestigious car brand. Surely hiring a god damn nanny was a better solution than child murder?
Take a week off, go to the hospital to get yourself and baby checked out. While in hospital, order a car seat. They'll probably give you some diapers and an outfit or blanket.
Then, when you leave the hospital, head to fire dept and place baby in the "need a baby, take a baby, have a baby, leave a baby" box.
I know you're being facetious, but this was in Germany where workers actually have rights to take a week off, and healthcare is freer than breadsticks.
That's sad that your first assumption was that I was joking because I said "take a week off" and "go to the hospital". Not a statement about you but about the state of things in some areas.
Though it's also sad that I silently assumed those weren't outlandish suggestions because she was a lawyer (though, as a Canadian, I did forget for a moment that "go to the hospital" might be a showstopper rather than the minimum level of care a parent who doesn't want their surprise baby should do before abandoning it at the fire dept).
The only part that I had intended as tongue in cheek was the "leave a baby, take a baby" bit. The comment was intended as a "this is a better way to handle this than dropping the baby out of the nearest window that doesn't involve having to take care of the baby at all, beyond a week of dealing with it with a minimum level of responsibly."
Alternatively, put the baby in a box with a towel, drop it off in a location where it can survive 5 minutes and call 911 to that location. Or call an adoption agency.
