18-year-old
Ana Rosa Mora (pictured above) has been arrested for killing her own
child because the new born baby looked like her ex-boyfriend.
Ana
reportedly 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.
