INFANT DISCOVERED IN BARN,
CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES LAUNCH PROBE
Nazareth Carpenter Being Held On Charges Involving Underage Mother
BETHLEHEM, JUDEA - Authorities were today alerted by a concerned citizen who
noticed a family living in a barn. Upon arrival, Family Protective Service
personnel, accompanied by police, took into protective care an infant child,
who had been wrapped in strips of cloth and placed in a feeding trough by his
14-year old mother, Mary of Nazareth.
During the confrontation, a man identified as Joseph, also of Nazareth,
attempted to stop the social workers. Joseph, aided by several local shepherds
and some unidentified foreigners, tried to forestall efforts to take the child,
but were restrained by the police.
Also being held for questioning are three foreigners who allege to be wise men
from an eastern country. The INS and Homeland Security officials are seeking
information about these wise guys who may be in the country illegally. A source
with the INS states that they had no passports, but were in possession of gold
and other possibly illegal substances. They resisted arrest saying that they
had been warned by God to avoid officials in Jerusalem and to return quickly to
their own country. The chemical substances in their possession will be tested.
The owner of the barn is also being held for questioning. The manager of
Bethlehem Inn faces possible revocation of his license for violating health and
safety regulations by allowing people to stay in the stable. Civil authorities
are also investigating the zoning violations involved in maintaining livestock
in a commercially-zoned district.
The location of the minor child will not be released, and the prospect for a
quick resolution to this case is doubtful. Asked about when the child would be
returned to his mother, a Child Protective Service spokesperson said, "The
father is middle-aged and the mother definitely underage. We are checking with
officials in Nazareth to determine what their legal relationship is.
Joseph has admitted taking Mary from her home in Nazareth because of a census
requirement. However, because she was obviously pregnant when they left,
investigators are looking into other reasons for their departure. Joseph is
being held without bond on charges of molestation, kidnapping, child
endangerment, and statutory rape.
Mary was taken to the Bethlehem General Hospital where she is being examined by
doctors. Charges may also be filed against her for endangerment. She will also
undergo psychiatric evaluation because of her claim that she is a virgin and
that the child is from God.
The director of the psychiatric wing said, "I don't profess to have the right
to tell people what to believe, but when their beliefs adversely affect the
safety and well-being of others--in this case her child--we must consider her a
danger to others. The unidentified drugs at the scene didn't help her case, but
I'm confidant that with the proper therapy regimen we can get her back on her
feet."
A spokesperson for the governor's office said, "Who knows what was going
through their heads? But regardless, their treatment of the child was
inexcusable, and the involvement of these others frightening. There is much we
don't know about this case, but for the sake of the child and the public, you
can be assured that we will pursue this matter to the end."
Merry Christmas!
