Recently I have been following the story of “kidnapping” little Madzia, 6 month old girl in Poland. Supposedly  (rzekomo) mother took her for a walk, was hit from behind by someone and lost consciousness (straciła przytomność). After she regained consciousness (odzyskała przytomność) , baby was gone. Being a mom myself, I felt horrible..Who could do such a thing…?

Well, I just heard latest news about it…”Flowers, teddy bears and candles are piling up in a southern Polish park where a mother buried her child and then sparked a nationwide search by falsely claiming she had been kidnapped”.

The child’s 22-year-old mother Katarzyna Waśniewska was arrested Saturday after she confessed that the baby died when it slipped from her hands and hit its head.

On Jan. 24, Waśniewska claimed she was attacked in the street in the family’s hometown of Sosnowiec and the baby taken from her. A nationwide appeal (ogólnopolski apel) was made for clues (wskazówki) and witnesses (świadkowie), and the child’s family posted leaflets with Madzia’s picture around the neighborhood.

Police found the baby’s body on Saturday hidden under stones and leaves in the park in Sosnowiec.

The place has since been covered with hundreds of flowers, toys and candles. Such a sad story.

Do następnego razu… (Till next time…)
