An American woman who attempted to carry a 6-day-old baby out of the Philippines hidden inside a sling bag has been arrested at Manila's airport and charged with human trafficking, officials said Thursday.
Talbot, from Ohio, was unable to produce any passport, boarding pass or government permits for the baby, airport officials said. Talbot had planned to board a Delta Air Lines flight to the Unites States with the baby, airport officials said. After discovering the baby, airline staff called immigration personnel, who arrested Talbot at the airport. She was later turned over to the National Bureau of Investigation and the baby was given to government welfare personnel.
