This will make your blood boil!

Here's a story from here in my hometown...it makes me sick. That girl is just wrong...



A 19-year-old Mesa woman has been indicted on second-degree murder and child abuse charges in the death of her newborn baby.

Tiffany Lee Hecker gave birth to a boy on Jan. 22 in a toilet, then picked up the child and put him back in the toilet, according to Mesa police and the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. She later took the body of baby Jeremy Lee Davidson to Chandler Regional Medical Center.

Hecker was arrested by Mesa police Nov. 27 after an autopsy performed by the county Medical Examiner's Office found the baby was alive at birth.
  

The autopsy found the baby was full term and did not die a natural death. The death was ruled a a homicide and Hecker was arrested a short time later.

"I commend the work done by our investigators and the Mesa police to hold this defendant accountable for her actions," County Attorney Andrew Thomas said in a prepared statement. "Our decision to move forward in this case came after a careful review of the evidence."

Hecker told investigators she never took a pregnancy test or sought prenatal health care, but thought she could be pregnant.

Police said Hecker's boyfriend, Jeramie Davidson, 19, told investigators that he didn't know Tiffany was pregnant and didn't know why she didn't tell him.

In January, Hecker told police she felt ill about 2 a.m. when driving home from her boyfriend's house.

She went into the bathroom and gave birth while on the toilet at about 5:30 a.m. Hecker, then 18, said the baby made a sound and said she saw his stomach move. Then, she picked him up out of the toilet and he stopped moving, she said. Hecker then put the baby back in the toilet and delivered the placenta.

After placing her son on towels on the bathroom floor, Hecker said she told her mother that she had given birth and that the child was dead.

Hecker told police her mother urged her to place the baby in a plastic bag and then into a trash can.

About 10 minutes later, she said she realized it wasn't the right thing to do and took him out and put him in the trunk of the family car, according to a police report. Hecker's mother brought the baby and the placenta to Chandler Regional Hospital, and hospital staff called Chandler Police, according to police.

Police questioned Hecker, who said she did not harm the baby intentionally or accidentally, according to the report.

Makes me soooo angry by hearing this story. I don't understand how a human being could do that to a poor innocent little child. So many of us struggle to have what she got and she killed it!!! How horrible!

I know! lol you wouldnt do that to your gold fish. True! I wouldnt do that to any living thing! Its horrible what some people do. She felt ill...ill?! What the heck is that!? By the time youre full term...I think you would notice. When the baby moved or kicked what did she think that was?! And I wonder how her boyfriend didnt notice it either..I feel kind of bad for him (if he wasnt lying) because he might have given the baby a good life ya know? Ever see that movie on Lifetime...where the 15 year old boy gets his girlfriend pregnant and she wants nothing to do with it and was to give it up for adoption and he decides to keep it and raise it by himself because he feels so much for the baby. And he does get it in the end and lives happily ever after...it could have been that way for this baby but Hecker just...ruined everything. Horrible

Yeah, I especially think the part was interesting where she realized what she did was wrong (for putting him in the plastic bag), so she decided that the trunk of her car was better?? Sick, sick, sick. I wouldn't do that to my gold fish.

What I don't understand is the fact that you can't ignore that your body has changed and to go through the pain of labor like it was nothing?  I don't understand what mindset these people have to ignore a human life like a piece of trash....it's sickening for sure.

That's one sick girl. She isn't a kid either, when you're 19 you know what you are doing. I can't imagine what made her do that. Don't these women have any respect for life or fear of God?
