\"Mora+Ana+Rosa\"<\/p>\n

In yet another example<\/a> of shocking disregard for the sanctity of human life, high school senior\/18-year-old unwed mother Ana Rosa Mora, of Chicago, discarded her one-day-old son as if he were a bag of rubbish.<\/p>\n

The reason Ana \u201cput her baby boy in a plastic bag and left it on the road\u201d? Well, it seems the infant \u201clooked like her ex-boyfriend and [Ms. Mora] was afraid her current boyfriend would leave her.\u201d After all, when nurturing a budding relationship, one can\u2019t have a baby who looks like an old boyfriend mucking up the romance.<\/p>\n

So what did Ana do to ensure her new paramour didn\u2019t suspect that the baby she gave birth to one day earlier wasn\u2019t his? After delivering the child, while he was still alive, Ana swaddled the helpless newborn in a plastic Walmart shopping bag and tossed him between two buildings in a walkway on the Northwest Side of Chicago.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The \u201cfull-term male infant\u201d was found on April 19 at 8:30 in the morning, and according to police and the Cook County Medical Examiner\u2019s office, the baby, who was discarded for the sin of looking like Ana\u2019s ex-boyfriend, was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

Andrea Vazque, the woman who found the baby, said, \u201cHe was wrapped inside a plastic bag and he was around like nine months already so he was fully developed.\u201d<\/p>\n

An autopsy determined that the newborn boy died of asphyxiation inside the plastic bag. It was also determined that prior to succumbing to asphyxia and \u201cprobable exposure to the elements,\u201d the baby was the victim of a \u201cprecipitous delivery,\u201d which was also a contributing factor in his death.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say on the day the child died, Ana woke up, gave birth to a full-term baby boy in her home, placed him in a plastic bag, chucked him outside, and then went back to sleep. According to police sources, the tiny infant’s umbilical cord was still attached, as well as the placenta.<\/p>\n

Still a student at Kelvyn Park High School, on the morning Ana returned to class, she fashioned a story to deceive those who recognized that she was no longer pregnant. Seems two observant staff members noticed that Mora had given birth. So, to cover up for dumping her infant son outside her home two days prior, Mora showed those asking about her new baby a photo of an infant girl on her iPad, which she later admitted she had downloaded off the internet.<\/p>\n

Worried about being caught, Ana brought up to school officials that there was a dead baby found near her home and asked whether it was legal for police to take DNA from her family members and whether DNA samples would reveal who the dead baby\u2019s mother was.<\/p>\n

As fate would have it, a Chicago police officer assigned to Kelvyn Park overheard Ana\u2019s conversation about the little girl pictured on the iPad, congratulated the new mother, and asked how old the baby was. Mora, who had just given birth, said her daughter was six months old in front of the school officials who were aware that that wasn\u2019t true. Later that day, one suspicious staff member called the officer, who then called detectives, which led to Ana\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n

Mora told police that she was afraid her existing beau would break up with her if he recognized that the dead baby looked like her former boyfriend, so she wrapped the small baby into a Walmart bag and threw him away not far from her home.<\/p>\n

Making things more difficult for Ana\u2019s budding romance, according to the Cook County sheriff\u2019s office, the young woman who just wanted to maintain a relationship with the new man in her life is now being held on $500,000 bond and charged with first-degree murder.<\/p>\n

Under the circumstances, hopefully Ana\u2019s beau likes how she looks in a penitentiary uniform and doesn\u2019t mind having prison guards as chaperones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
