Tiona Rodriguez successfully hid the pregnancy from her family and
gave birth to the baby in her friend’s bathroom, going through all the
medical procedures on her own. She was on her way to bury the baby
before she decided to take a detour at the shopping mall to steal which
exposed her wicked act as reported by the police.
According to prosecutors, she fell pregnant at 14 and her family only discovered the truth when she was in labour in hospital.
Rodriguez gave birth for the second time in 2012, aged 15. She is believed to have delivered the baby in her bathtub at home.
Prosecutor Ferrari said:
“She may have killed the baby, the baby may have been stillborn – but we know that she texted her boyfriend throughout the birth, ultimately telling him – it’s dead. “Then the two of them discussed via text getting rid of it. Smashing it up, so it didn’t look like a body. Burning it. Meeting up to bury it.”
She told no one after falling pregnant for the third time. Rodriguez’s lawyer Earl Ward argued that both the second and third pregnancies resulted in miscarriages. He said his client was a “confused young girl who had no idea what to do with the fetus that was stillborn”, the Daily News reported. She was ordered held without bail by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Thomas Farber.
She faces 15 years to life in prison if convicted
