The US media is in a frenzy after the adopted daughter of a former baseball star named Denise Eckersley – abandoned the baby she gave birth to in a frozen forest, and even lied to the police and distorted reality, when asked where he was.
According to reports, 26-year-old Alexandra (Ellie) Eckersley left the baby she gave birth to in the frozen forest for two weeks (!) – and he was found last night after a frantic police search. “We found him wrapped in a thin cloth and suffering from hypothermia,” the police said. Now it appears from the reports that this is a girl who suffers from mental problems, and that on this background she left her home a few years ago, and lives in the woods.
People who knew her told the media that they saw her setting up a tent in one of the forests, and living in it. Alexandra herself has also previously been interviewed by the media and talked about her life as a homeless person and her desire for people to treat her like a human being just like them. “The most painful thing is that we look like scum to people. They don’t understand that we are human beings, and that’s how they treat us,” she said in an interview at the time.
When asked what he thought about the life his daughter leads as a homeless person, her father refused to comment.
“This is a private matter that is very painful for us,” said her father’s wife, Jennifer Shema. “We put in efforts and supported the girl over the years. The family gave her unconditional love, and gave her everything possible. We sent her to every rehabilitation program, to every treatment that we thought could help her – and unfortunately it didn’t help. Today, when she’s more mature, she doesn’t let us interfere In her life.”
