(June 20, 2008)—A Mexican woman accused of killing her 2-year-old son with a kick to the stomach is pregnant, according to authorities in McAllen, where she’s held in lieu of $1 million bond.
Maria Almaguer, 30, who’s living in McAllen on an expired visa, was arraigned Thursday on a murder charge.
Police spokesman Armando Contreras says she is believed to be about five months pregnant.
She's held in the Hidalgo County Jail.
According to court documents, Almaguer was alone with 2-year-old Isaias Alvarez on June 13, the day before police responded to a report that the child was not breathing.
The boy was pronounced dead at a hospital.
An autopsy showed his death was caused by blunt force trauma to his abdomen that lacerated his small intestine.

The woman should pay for the wrong she did. This is off subject, but Mexican's are Americans too. In case you forgot, we live in North America, They live in Central America, and others live in South America. If you live in the USA or Canada, you are North American, Mexicans are Central Americans, and Brazilians are South Americans, etc., etc., etc. The only reason US Americans aren't called by the country's origin is because we are the "melting pot", and we don't really have one. So, we settled on States: Texan (or Texian), Oklahoman, Louisianan, New Mexican, etc., etc., etc. US Americans have never had exclusive right to the term "American", they just assumed we did. Confusing ain't it.

So what if she's pregnant!!! Why are they making such a fuss over the fact that she's pregnant???Plenty of women give birth in jail and prison...CPS takes the child...the mother doesn't get to keep the newborn...THANK GOD!!! Plus, she's an illegal...trial, sentencing, prison, then deport her back to Mexico...or...if we had a deal with Mexico about their citizens that commit crimes in the USA...we could ship her there and have them pay for all the trial, birth care, prison, etc...but they'd probably just turn her loose to come back across the border!!!
