Seventeen-year-old mother faces murder, manslaughter charges after throwing newborn son out of Bronx apartment window
A 17-year-old mother faces murder and manslaughter charges for throwing her newborn son out a fifth-floor window in the Bronx, cops said Thursday.
Cops gathered that the teenager, whose name was not released because she is younger than 18, showed up at Lincoln Hospital on Oct. 24, admitting that she gave birth in her apartment on E. 158th St., and threw her son out of the window.
The baby was one-day-old.
Hospital staff called 911, and police raced to her home.
Police found the baby dead in a flowerbed.
An autopsy determined in April that the baby was a victim of homicide and not a stillbirth, police said.
