Seriously this makes me ill. What the hell is wrong with people that would cause them to do this? There really is no reason they should not know they have alternatives.

SANTA ANA – An 18-year-old mother was charged with murder Thursday for stabbing her newborn daughter and hiding the corpse in her closet, county prosecutors said.

Yoselin Torres Tovar, 18, of Fullerton is charged with felony murder and child abuse with a sentencing enhancement for inflicting great bodily injury, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s office.

She will be arraigned Friday. If convicted, she faces a maximum of 25 years in prison, prosecutors said.Authorities say Torres gave birth to the infant Saturday night in her family’s home. She is accused of stabbing the baby to death, and then putting the dead infant in her bedroom closet. No one in her family knew she was pregnant, prosecutors said.

Torres was bleeding, so her family members took her to St. Jude Hospital in Fullerton, prosecutors said. Doctors determined Torres just gave birth, and called police. They later found the dead baby in the closet.

She is the second young Fullerton mother in the past two weeks to be charged with killing her newborn baby.

Yanira Valderrama, 20, was arrested April 8 on suspicion drowning her newborn baby boy and hiding his body in a trash can in September. She faces the same charges as Tovar and will be arraigned April 30.

Parents who don’t want their newborn infants have alternatives.

California’s Safe Surrender law allows parents to drop off an unwanted newborn at any fire station or hospital within 72 hours of birth with no questions asked.
