Warning: This story is not for the faint of heart.

This story comes out of Minnesota. A 17 year old girl/woman is being charged in the death of her baby girl. The baby was born alive, and the mother admits that she saw the baby’s fingers move, so we know that the baby was alive.



This mother, rather than taking her child to a safe harbor location, chose to stab the baby ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE times.

There was no doubt she wanted to make sure this baby was dead. How can someone be filled with that much rage, hate, or anger toward an innocent baby?

She gave birth to the baby at home, without her parents knowledge, killed her, and then wrapped her in a trash bag and headed to the dumpster near where she worked.

This was a living, breathing human being who deserved a chance at life.

The parents had no idea their daughter was pregnant, but someone else did. This quote is from the article as to how this was discovered.

Authorities were tipped off Tuesday when an anonymous caller told police that a cashier at a Cub Foods grocery store in St. Paul had given birth to a stillborn baby and threw it in the garbage at her home. The store manager confirmed [name] was an employee there, but said she had called in sick the past two days. Police went to her home. Her mother told officers her daughter had been sick in bed the past two days, but had gone to work that day, according to the complaint.

Someone knew this girl/woman was pregnant, and that she had disposed of the dead baby. She obviously had someone that she confided in.

She is being charged with first degree murder, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. Bail is set at $1 million.

She killed her baby, and in the process, destroyed TWO lives.

As someone who has never been able to have a baby, this story angers me when it would have been so easy to prevent.
