The mother is *so delusional* she really never thought her daughter was going to jail for murdering her baby. She didn't ask for a lawyer in the hospital and didn't even get her one after. They both really just thought killing a baby was no big deal apparently. Incredible.

[@yoachim91]

"Teenagers are more dangerous than toddlers.". Retired teacher here and you are so correct! I have seen teens do things you would literally not believe. Their decision making process is mind bending.

[@katella]

My daughter at 14 or 15 was told that she couldn't go to a party because she was on restriction for the weekend. Her solution was to pack a small bag with her ",party clothes" , jump out of a third floor window onto hard, frozen ground and to run away for weeks. Unbelievable!

[@marysupernova7780]

​@@katellawow! Can't imagine needing to go to a party that bad, & I was a kid who was either partying, or grounded for breaking rules about it. I'm glad that the jump didn't severely injure her. And I commend you for not losing all ur marbles in raising a teenage girl. They're not for the faint of heart lol

[@margaretbrown5683]

Also a teacher. Same!

[@ReRe-kr1ht]

I'm raising 4 teenage girls, please pray for me😅 2 are stepdaughters that have lived with us fulltime for 11 yrs. That statement about teenagers being more dangerous could not be any truer. My stepdaughter will be 18 in 2 wks & we're counting down the days. She has run away more times than we can count & made our home unbearable for EVERYBODY. She ran away a few mths ago, the cops say they can't make her come home, but DSS showed up last wk saying we're medically neglecting her bc it's still our responsibility to provide her diabetic supplies. Seems to me she should be making amends with her dad & coming home but instead she called DSS on us🤯 There's so many stories I could tell that would blow your mind. Her sister & all 4 of my kids function just fine, they're respectful, make good grades, do what's expected of them & they relay that to DSS everytime but that doesn't detour them from opening another investigation everytime she does this. They've been to our house 8 times in past year, open investigation, talk to all the kids, us, check our home & close it. This girl is in for a rude awakening.

[@toriamigo]

I would have never thought that toddlers were more dangerous than teens, so i dont understand this realisation lol

[@kimberlyelliott7933]

Our oldest daughter got pregnant at 19...not married...and thankfully had no hesitation in telling us. We supported her 💯 and never once weren't supportive and excited! Today she's 32, happily married with 4 kids! Things could have turned out so differently for this girl 😢 Her mom is sickening.

[@xensan379]

Not sure is the mom, or she’s just using the “I’m scared” card. I’m pretty sure she could of told her mom & together would of found another solution, maybe family will adopt or they would help them n both parents can parent together. I feel like she n he are selfish n thought the baby is an inconvenience, so, immature thinking, yes, out of sight out of mind. The least she could of done after delivering him is get help for baby not dispose of him. She wanted to get off scott free… They both “parents” should be charged.

[@sideways5153]

Yeah looking at a 19 year old girl getting bullied by her mom in the middle of what is probably the most traumatic experience in her life really says a lot about what was happening at home for her. I hope they can both become better people

[@yilly0170]

​@@sideways5153 that's what I saw too. It's like she's a robot following what she's being told. Honestly she seems like she's just going through the motions and her mother is making her every decision for her, instead of approaching with control of everything. I understand you want to protect your child but you need to start asking them what they want & explaining to them that after 18yrs old they have to learn to live without you sheltering them all the time. What I'm seeing is a 19yr old who is like a 15yr Olds mind still depending on her mother's permission to sit & speak when told to! I hate this happened, a little helpless baby has lost his life because of his mother's immaturity but I also think that the father of the baby should also be accountable for what happened too, her mother could also try to get some counselling too... she's just too full on protection mode yet, she hasn't even asked about her grandson!

[@lisasternenkind6467]

I always told my sons that there would always be a place for one of their girlfriends and if an unplanned baby would be on its way, we would get things figured out. I made sure my sons had all the information on the female hormone cycle etc. And living in remote countryside together with lots of animals, they all witnessed closely births and deaths of animals. All my sons were way in their 20's when becoming dads for the first time, but I would have been okay with earlier incoming grandchildren of course. ❤

[@shirleywiese5230]

Unfortunately, she doesn’t have a good mother.

[@BHarris25]

My mom worked in labor and delivery for 30 years and she had a few teens over the years that hid their pregnancy from their controlling parents. And then when the parents found out they lost their shit, highlighting why they weren’t told in the first place.

[@silvan_gold9343]

I'm so confused about why her mom had a previous convo with her about killing newborns. She suspected something.

[@Azzie1992]

Another thing I've heard about the cleaning woman who found the baby was that she witnessed her husband's suicide a few years before, and even her therapist suggested not taking the hospital cleaning job because of her former trauma. The poor lady has seen so much.

[@mischiefroadtripadventures]

the fact she was allowed to block the warrant, which is illegal since her daughter is a 19 year old adult, is amazing. She could have been arrested or ateast forced to move. Seriously. Active warrant is grounds for entering an open door.

[@kintequeen25]

The mom is the worse .. she didn’t help the situation

[@kristinamcleod878]

Her mom is the reason why she put the baby in the trash can in the first place.

[@AlyssaTaylor9]

What blows my mind is that she gave birth IN A HOSPITAL and still made this choice. She could've asked for help at any time and the baby would've survived. Hell, she could've left the baby on the bathroom floor for the staff waiting outside to see and he would've been okay!

[@doctordolldesigns4009]

Right?!

[@debbiekelley9968]

She could have gone to the hospital by herself or called her boyfriend to drive her there and as they said it’s a hospital with no questions asked

[@maddikitten1306]

​ @debbiekelley9968 Her mother is a helicopter parent and would've likely killed HER for going without her consent. She's that unstable

[@lindsayforney7575]

And the staff wouldnt have said anything to the mom ! Would be her privacy

[@lisasallery7860]

Omg, this is what I said. That hospital has a No questions asked policy about leaving a baby there. So she could have done that and left them to believe it was a miscarriage. Because her mum already knew she was pregnant by the time she had him.

[@Jillionaire_]

My son was stillborn at 39 weeks...an emergency situation, sooo no epidural. Let me tell you, the fact this girl did this ALONE in a bathroom with no epidural - without screaming absolute bloody murder....is astonishing. I made noises that ive never heard another human make before. She mustve REALLLLLLLYYYY been afraid to tell her mother man. The only way she couldve repressed her screaming, had to have been just total fear of her family knowing. Ugh

[@lisasternenkind6467]

She had gotten opioid drugs because of her "back pain".

[@LeftoverPuppies]

I was thinking the same thing - the circumstances that led to this must have been so extreme! Unless of course she was just "sick" in some other intense way...but, otherwise, the family situation and fear this girl had must have been would have had to have been so dire!

[@miraheil5521]

Exactly. The fear of her mom was greater than anything.

[@notme2day]

Some people have an easier time during childbirth... mine was a nightmare but my sister in law had one strong contraction and popped her 1st one out. Her next 7 were even easier.. just saying... not everyone has difficult pregnancies or larbors.

[@Rachel-8607]

That was one of the first things I thought of. Some births are not as painful as others, but to make no sound is so mentally impactful

[@Woodman-Spare-that-tree]

As someone else here has suggested, I think the reason this happened is that she was afraid of her mother. She went 9 months without telling her mother she was pregnant, and she was afraid that her mother would find out that she had given birth. I know what it feels like to be that afraid of your own mother. You can say it’s irrational, but it is what it is. I was still too afraid to be in the same room with my mother when I was 40 and she was 75. Irrational but true.

So she wrapped him in a garbage bag and threw him away. Look at her face as she was walking out of the bathroom. She did not shed 1 tear for that baby she just left behind in the trash can.

During the arrest with the police on the porch, Rosa (mom of Alexee) was being very manipulative. First she tried to be tough. When that didn't work, she changed to tears and painted Alexee as so fragile. Alexee isn't fragile. She gave birth by herself, then went to the prom (all smiles) with no remorse or regret.

I’ve even talked to her about safe havens. And yesterday she asked me what planned parenthood was and I used that as a learning moment to circle this story back around. To show how many options are available to prevent pregnancy and options for if a baby was born. I want her to know there are endless options. The only thing that’s not an option is lying and killing an innocent baby. I’m proud that there are other moms talking to their daughters about this. Great job mom!!

It’s more complicated than that. Parents need to face the facts that their kid/s are sexually active and get them on birth control pronto. Tell your sons they must use condoms, correctly, every time! This is where being anti choice backfires. If your kids hear you saying anything about being against abortion, for any reason, they will not come to you with their real problems. If you don’t start talking to your kids about sexuality way earlier than puberty, you’re treating a double standard that can smack you in the face as a wake up call. I’ll bet, that this mom did know that the her daughter was pregnant. Then, there’s the boyfriend, he has nothing to say and not one person is holding him responsible. Read, Reviving Ophelia!

@@nowandaround312I would say that’s a far stretch considering that she went through far measures to hide the baby, yet alone throw him away like trash, that’s Not something an innocent person does to their own baby, if he wasn’t breathing or stillborn then she had nothing to hide

[@jenniferramos5333]

As a seasoned nurse , I’ll give what’s probably an unpopular opinion . First, pregnant teens in denial have more disconnected thoughts than anyone you’ll ever meet ! Second, the hospital certainly has liability- I’m not sure at what point the hospital notified her that she was pregnant, but any ER I’ve worked in has several golden rules !! One is that a pregnant female with belly pain could be in labor (delivering a live baby, stillborn, miscarriage, etc) …and the sudden urge to 💩 is a classic sign ! Not everyone delivers at 9 months !! Why they let her walk down the hallway into a bathroom alone is mind boggling for me as a seasoned ER RN 😳 ! I have witnessed pregnant teens do many unthinkable things when the pregnancy comes to term …you DO NOT leave them alone ! That said …it’s a sad situation all the way around . Some day this will haunt that girl …and not just for the legal reasons. Her mother needs to stop interfering, that’s why the daughter is the way she is …she never let her grow into a decision making young adult ! Edit : I’m NOT saying she & her mom are not to blame, far from that ! She made a choice in that bathroom & mom was floating on some River of Denial ! But from experience …teenagers who are pregnant will do ALL kinds of crazy things when the pregnancy is ending and they will be “found out”. I’ve seen babies/fetuses of all gestational ages delivered and placed in plastic bags, large coffee cans, anything they can find ! Their denial makes their labors unusual- I had one deliver in her pants on the school bus on the ride to school and NOT 1 person knew until they all got up and saw blood . To the point of her not being in the bathroom alone - she was acting suspicious & the ER knew she was pregnant from the urine preg test that takes 1-2 min to run. The blood test was to get a quantitative # (that is used later to determine if it’s an early pregnancy & a possible miscarriage is happening , because the # will be checked days after the ER visit to see if it rises/falls . This is when it’s EARLY and too soon for an ultrasound) ! A young girl with a + preg test who’s in denial needs to be watched ! They may do a lot of crazy things when it comes time to deliver …when it’s in a ER’s restroom while she’s a patient , it’s their responsibility ! Another example …when cops/jails faced too much litigation for drunks who died in their custody because they could vomit/aspirate OR roll over & compress their own airway and stop breathing ….they all started getting dumped into ER’s for us to “observe” until they were sober ! Many of them lied said they only had “1 drink “ . It was our responsibility as nurses to keep them safe while in the ER , no matter how busy or short staffed ! If they fell because we let them go to the bathroom alone, it would be our fault ! Negligence is a very broad term that defines what nurses/hospital staff SHOULD do, regardless of policy, staffing, etc !! Point is …#1 pregnant teens in denial are completely unpredictable! So never say never to how they may deliver or what they may do ! #2 - the hospital has a liability to keep their patients safe AND it’s up to the ER staff to be sure they don’t do things that knowingly jeopardize patient safety , no matter how short staffed or busy they are ! #3- she is at fault for what she did, but there is also responsibility for the facility for how it was handled ! If she hemorrhaged/died while in that bathroom too …the family would be suing ! #4- Working in an ER isn’t like any other place! While patients come in non-stop because there’s no appointments , patients like her have to be “watched” and kept safe while you still care for those who come in with heart attacks, overdoses, cardiac arrest, strokes, etc …IYKYK !

[@sravd6079]

Whatever you said ofcourse absolutely true. In this case, when the girl arrived at the hospital or ER, when she was asked about pregnancy she mentioned that she never had sex and isnt pregnant. From what I understand looking at the interrogation videos and body cam footage for this case, they were waiting on blood results and during that interval this person went to restroom, and she said she was on a period. If not for the lady who checked the trash , it would have been something else. Also she/Alexee mentioned to the hospital that she was on weightloss pills possibly Phentermine as she claimed to the entire school that she was getting fat and whenever someone remotely suggested anything , her mom and Alexee accused them of body shaming, this came from some of the students who were cheerleading with her, most of this was either posted by them in reddit or tik tok, and they were verified as well.also there are videos of her cheerleading few days before she went into labor. And there is this whole thing about what she did to the placenta and umblical cord, remember she walked out of the bathroom as if nothing happened after giving birth and trashing the new born, and she claimed it was her periods. And the most insane part is how did her mother not suspect a thing for 9 months .. thats even more ridiculous. All in all they are all delusional.

[@BabyGirlTiny]

Did she tell the doctors she needed to poop? Or did she just tell them she needed to go to the bathroom? Either way, she would not consent to an exam so they couldn’t force her on her back

[@jenniferramos5333]

@@sravd6079 I know they did a urine preg that was positive. A blood test is a quantitative #, used to track a “threatened miscarriage “ which is bleeding during early pregnancy. A # will be established on day 1 (in ER) then checked again to see if it rises or falls in the days after …helpful to know if the pregnancy is continuing or not when it could be too early to see anything on Ultrasound. But I agree …they are all delusional !! I’ve seen teenage girls deliver in cars, on buses, in bathrooms, etc without making a peep …as opposed to those of us who have had children & it’s very hard to be quiet during a natural delivery ! 🤦‍♀️

[@jenniferramos5333]

@@BabyGirlTiny not 100% sure if she said “poop” …but anyone with a sudden urge to use the bathroom with a + preg test is a liability to allow them to go in alone ! You can’t force them onto their back for a vaginal exam …but someone accompanying her into the restroom for “her safety” would be imperative! I’m sure she would have protested that as well …but it would have been necessary for her safety (and obviously the baby’s life)! Some things have to happen in the ER due to safety, litigation, etc. If she really protested …I would have sent mom in with an employee outside the door. They knew she was pregnant, the urine test was positive. I’m just pointing out that it can be a liability of the hospital in her trial … because as ER nurses we have to “know better”. Trust how many times we’ve heard “…but I’m not even having sex “! I had a patient once who hid the weight well and wore a bikini all summer long…and then delivered a healthy full term baby while her parents were still registering her ! Turns out it wasn’t appendicitis, we didn’t even have time for a pregnancy test ! I just know we are held to a different standard, and I know it’s not a popular opinion ! 🤷‍♀️

Your so right, I was wondering why she running down the hallway like that when they knew she was pregnant.

It infuriates me that mom seems to blame the hospital and police for her daughter's situation. She's an adult and the hospital can't force an exam she won't consent to. She could have told a nurse in confidence, had the baby safely and left it in the care of the hospital staff. They wouldn't be able to disclose anything to her mother because she's an adult. I understand being scared but she was in a hospital surrounded by help instead she chose this way.

I think the mother has a lot more blame in this than just not knowing about the pregnancy. In fact, just the way she responded to the news makes me suspect her mother knew the enitre time. She seems like a VERY controlling person with how she refused to acknowledge her daughter is a legal adult and argued with police. She may be protective, but I feel there is more to it than that.

If you are a young person with an unwanted pregnancy, please don't do this! If you dont want to, or can't get an abortion: Go to the hospital, give birth, and immediately surrender the baby for adoption.
