Adam is just a kid, but he did as well or better than any adult. I am amazed that he was able to keep his cool as well as he did. She must not have been suspicious of him, as she went back to what she was doing. So glad to hear baby is doing well, and it sounds like Mom is recovering. I hope this community will do something to award this amazing young man. And I am sure he has some really proud parents. Great job, Adam!

What a local hero. This boy is exemplary for his cool and his obvious understanding of an incredible situation.

Before Valerie Oskin was attacked by a neighbor two weeks ago, she contracted with an Armstrong County couple who planned to adopt her baby after the child's birth.
The events of the past two weeks, in which Ms. Oskin was beaten and slashed by a neighbor who wanted to steal her baby, have not changed that plan.
The baby boy Ms. Oskin delivered by Caesarean section at Allegheny General Hospital after the assault is at the adoptive couple's home and will remain there while the adoption procedure winds its way through the legal process, said Kittanning attorney Jack Steiner, who represents the couple.
Though cloudy on many aspects of the assault, Ms. Oskin remembers being struck early last Wednesday with a baseball bat while she was in her trailer in the Pattonville section of Manor, Mr. Andreassi said. Ms. Conner lived in the trailer next door with her three children and boyfriend, Thomas "Cowboy" Wilks.
Ms. Oskin's 6-year-old son, Brandon Berry, was in the trailer during the assault, but she only remembers putting him to bed and then taking him later in a car, but does not remember where the boy was when the attack occurred, Mr. Andreassi said. Friends of Ms. Oskin have said she told them Brandon's father, David Berry, is also the father of Ms. Oskin's newborn son.
The next thing Ms. Oskin remembered after being struck by the bat was stepping outside her trailer and seeing Ms. Conner and Betty Thevenin, her landlord who lived in another trailer nearby. Ms. Oskin recalled Mrs. Thevenin saying she needed to go to a hospital and that Ms. Conner volunteered to transport her there, Mr. Andreassi said.
Ms. Oskin woke up next in a rural area of Wayne and remembered seeing Ms. Conner with what she described as a black pipe, Mr. Andreassi said. Police believe Ms. Oskin was referring to the black crowbar they found with pieces of hair and blood on it in the trunk of Ms. Conner's car, he said.

No Insanity Plea for Peggy Jo Conner
The attorney of a woman, who hit her pregnant neighbor with a baseball bat and then tried to cut her unborn child from her womb, will not seek an insanity defense in her case. Peggy Jo Conner has been charged with attempted homicide and aggravated assault in connection with an attack on Valerie Oskin.
Defense attorney David DeFazio told reporters that he will not pursue a not guilty by reason of insanity or a guilty but mentally ill defense in Conner's case. His decision came after a state forensic psychiatrist examined Conner.
It was the second time psychiatrist Christine Martone had tried to evaluate Conner. During her first attempt, Conner refused to answer any questions. The judge ordered Conner to undergo a second examination.
DeFazio made the decision not to seek an insanity defense after reading Martone's report from the second session.

No body, especially women, serve their whole sentence. You get time for being "good", working, doing things like training dogs, going to school, etc. Some prisons you can get up to an extra day every day in prison (so like you served 2 days in one).
