A CHILD MAY BE IN DANGER

My police scanner picked up a baby monitor last night. I don't know why because we have never had that problem before. On the monitor was a baby that was crying and crying. I pushed search on the scanner to get it off of that channel but it went back to it. Anyway, the baby cried off and on all night. I know I should have turned it off so I was not invading someone elses privacy but something inside me told me to leave it there. This morning the baby is still crying and a lady is Screaming at the baby "shut the %$#% up" 'I said shut up $#$#@%" I was afraid for this baby because of the tone of the ladies voice, she went on and on screaming at the baby, who sounds like she is about 10 - 12 months old. I do not know what to do to help this child. The lady sounds like she is unstable but since it is coming across the scanner I have no way to know who or where she is. IT is a police scanner with a regular anteana so she can not be too far. IF anyone has any suggestions on how to help this child or how to find out who they are please, please let me know.

I would suggest a call to the police department with ur concerns and tell them what u overheard on ur police scanner and ur fears for the baby. Also they maybe able to track down the source easier.

Many hugs

First I would say don't mess with that scanner. The very next time you hear that baby call the police and them listen in. Since she can't be to far away ( I don't know if you live in an apartment or what) is it possible that when you hear the baby again you could walk around outside and see if you can personally find the source? This mom could be suffering post partum depression or something, and could use some help right along with the baby.. I'd pay close attention when I'm out in the neighborhood for anyone tending to you a baby and see if you can figure it out... It's hard to say for sure what's going on since you only heard that tidbit.. But I will pray that baby is safe and that maybe the mom was just having an unusually rough time and that it isn't something the baby goes through everynight.

The same thing happened to me before, but I found out who the person was, she lived 3 houses down from me. Watch and see who has a baby in your neiborhood, she has to be really close. Good Luck.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
