The mother, whom the Tampa Bay Times is not naming in this story because she has not been charged with a crime, told police that she hadn’t had a period in about a year and didn’t know she was pregnant but “may have been in denial,” the affidavit states.
The woman said she started to feel nauseous on Saturday morning and gave birth in the bathroom between two adjoining dorm rooms, according to the affidavit. She said the newborn cried for about five seconds and when the woman put the baby to her chest, the girl stopped crying. She kept the baby to her chest for several minutes and then put the child down on a towel.
The woman told police that when she put her hand to the baby’s chest and did not feel anything, she thought the baby was dead. The woman took a shower, cleaned the infant with water from the shower and wrapped it in a towel. She said the baby showed no signs of life at that point.
The woman said she took the towel-wrapped baby to her room, laid the child on the floor and fell asleep for about an hour, the affidavit states. When she woke up about 11 a.m. Saturday, the baby still showed no signs of life, so she placed the infant in a trash can and went back to sleep.
Tampa police have not said if the woman will be criminally charged. Police previously said investigators were working to determine the baby’s cause of death and her “developmental stage.”
