18-year-old Mother kills her own new born child because he looked like her ex-boyfriend

18-year-old Ana Rosa Mora has been arrested for killing her
own child because the the new born looked like her ex-
boyfriend. Ana wrapped her baby in a bag and left him outside
to die because she feared the child looked like her ex-
boyfriend and her current boyfriend would leave her.
The Chicago Tribune reports that the teen gave birth last
weekend and attended school on Monday after allegedly
committing the act and even showed staff members pictures of
a newborn girl that she claimed she downloaded from the
Internet.
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 child had been found by a construction worker a few hours
after the child was left outside. The boy was born alive but died
of asphyxia and possible exposure, authorities said.
The new mother said her ex-boyfriend was the father and when
the child was born she feared her current boyfriend would
notice and leave her, the newspaper reported. She was arrested
Friday April 25th.
Mora, who was scheduled to graduate from high school in June
and attend college in the fall is facing charges of first-degree
murder and is now being held on $500,000 bail.
