Officials say an American woman attempted to bring a 6-day-old baby from the Philippines into the United States by keeping it hidden inside a sling bag she was carrying. The woman was arrested at an airport in Manila and charged with human trafficking.
Jennifer Erin Talbot managed to pass through the airport’s immigration counter on Sept. 4 without declaring the baby but was later intercepted at the boarding gate by airline personnel, officials said a day later.Airport officials say the 43-year-old Ohio woman wasn’t able to produce key documents for the baby boy, such as a passport, boarding pass, or government permit. They said Talbot had planned to board a Delta Air Lines flight to the United States with the concealed baby.
