HOUSTON (November 19, 2009)—Police in Houston police were waiting on autopsy results Thursday evening on a baby boy whose mummified corpse was found beneath his mother's bathroom sink.

Officers were dispatched to the woman's apartment in northwest Houston at about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday after a call from the 24-year-old woman's parents.

Police spokesman Jack Harvey said the parents asked their daughter about a foul odor coming from below the sink and were told it was a dead baby.

The parents took the blanket-wrapped corpse outside and called police.

Investigators say the baby appeared to have been delivered full-term about two months ago.

Detectives want to establish whether the child was stillborn and born alive, and whether foul play was involved.

Until then, police and Child Protective Services said no charges will be filed.

If there was a dead baby in her sink than why isnt she arrested? Why arent there charges against her. Clearly her parents asked her what the odor was, and she was able to answer the question than obviously she knew there was a baby there. She was hiding it for a reason. This woman deserves to be in prison, let her live with the guilt. Poor child. No child deserves this. Thankfully the parents called the police, rather than helping her hide the child.

The whole World is just going to "Hell-In-A-Hand Basket". People have no respect for life, or any feelings for another human being, not even their on baby!!! Terrible, and it's going to get worse!!!
