An 18-year-old Chicago woman wrapped her newborn in a bag and left him outside to die because she feared the child looked like her ex-boyfriend and her current beau would leave her, cops said.
Ana Rosa Mora is facing charges of first-degree murder following the senseless action, reports the Chicago Tribune.
The mother gave birth over the weekend and came to school Monday after allegedly committing the act — even showing staff members pictures of a newborn girl that she downloaded from the Internet, authorities said.
But after employees noticed strange behavior — such as the girl asking if authorities could link her to the child through DNA and lying about the baby's age — they alerted authorities, the newspaper reported. The child had been found by a construction worker a few hours after the child was left outside, authorities said.
The boy was born alive but died of asphyxia and possible exposure, authorities said.
