Mom threw her baby in a dumpster as if she was throwing the trash out, as her boyfriend suggested, after she kiIIed the child because she was trying to take a batth and the bay started crying in the other room; charges

Police officials said the young mom, later identified as 20-year-old Rae, was taken into custody and later charged with second degree murder after she reportedly kiIIed her 7-month-old baby. Per reports, the young mother reportedly kiIIed her child, Matteo, because the baby wouldn’t stop crying in the other room while his mom was taking a bath. The mom’s boyfriend, 18-year-old Edwln, was also arrested and charged with aiding an offender by being an accomplice.

Last week, the 911 caller reported the 7-month-old baby missing and authorities spoke with the 20-year-old mother. During an initial interview with investigators, the baby’s mom reportedly said that her infant son died in the hospital from natural causes. Unfortunately, no records showed that the baby died in the hospital.

In a follow-up interview with investigators, the young mother reportedly confessed to kiIIing her baby by drowning the child in a bathub. The mom reportedly told investigators that she got angry because her baby wouldn’t stop crying whiIe she was enjoyring herself in the bathroom, taking a bath. Per reports, after drowning the little baby, she then wrapped his body and threw it in a dumpster. Investigators weren’t able to locate the baby’s body.

Police officials said that after kiIIing her baby, the mother texted her boyfriend that her baby was dead and that she was sorry. Her boyfriend reportedly replied: “Don’t Be.” The 18-year-old boyfriend then came over, but they didn’t called 911 or seek medical help. The 18-year-old man also suggested and she should threw the baby’s body in a dumpster as if she was throwing the trash out.  .  In a follow-up interview with investigators, the mother also said that she was dating a boyfriend who didn’t like her baby and wanted her to give her son for adoption.
