Reply to comment by giap16 in When another detective asked Eckersley why she left the baby, she said, “What do they tell you when a plane goes down? Save yourself first,” the affidavit stated. After that, “Eckersley told (the) detective to ‘fuck herself’ and that she was done talking.” by Dependent_Season_669

As horrible and sensationalist as that is, it’s probably word salad from someone suffering from schizophrenia, not a statement of criminal intent. If you read between the lines of the article, and avoid taking the outrage bait, it’s clear this person was rambling nonsense. Constantly contradicting themselves.

Given the street conditions in Manchester, it’s disturbing that a police detective isn’t familiar enough with psychiatric disorders to recognize that you shouldn’t leak such things to the press. FFS. Was a social worker involved at any point in the last six months? It seems the cops knew there was a pregnant woman at the camp for quite some time…

>According to an affidavit

It wasn't leaked to the press, the quotes are from the court paperwork.

Ah shit. My bad. I did read the article, just didn’t realize that the affidavit is public by default. It definitely needs to be included in the prosecution’s evidence against her.
