Smuggling a Baby

A forty-three-year-old American woman was arrested in Manila because she tried to smuggle a baby to the US. She didn’t have a written record from the six-year-old infant’s actual mother and she failed to declare the child to immigration authorities. I was surprised she tried to be on board by concealing the baby in a baby sliding across her chest. It must take long hours to move between the two countries. Otherwise, she managed to hide the baby taking a risk of being noticed by the passengers. Her intention for the action was not revealed, but it is not good to treat an infant like a small luggage. I want to know the motive behind her action.
