Even if the baby was still born there should be charges for her dumping the baby in the dumpster.

[@constitutionloversue]

Even if the baby was born dead. Dont think i could of dumped it in the trash. This girl needs some help

[@CarolAnne-wl6zu]

There was no excuse for the mother to do what she did to her baby.

[@Patrick-yh5yd]

If I found this I would be so upset. Charge the mother. And she is smart enough for college?

[@willbell1128]

You don't need to be smart for college anymore..

[@garydutcher9614]

There is no reason to throw baby away. I would have kept her.

[@stevewilliamson630]

This that HEARTLESS youth we have now days

[@Kuulei265]

Yes, very heartless. They are self-involved and have no respect for older people. They feel very free to blame the older generation for things that were passed down to their generation. The boomer generation, which I belong to seem to be the last generation who felt it was the right thing to do to take care of their parents. I’ve seen an elderly person or a pregnant woman get on the bus and no one gets up and offer them a seat. I told both my children if I caught them doing that, their head would be sore for weeks from me yelling into their ear.

[@rochellet1333]

Absolutely horrifying!

[@whatdidijustsee9338]

America is wild never heard of so many babies being dumped , its bloody brutal

[@PKC27]

This is so disgusting and she should be prosecuted to the fullest you don’t just throw a baby away if you don’t want the child give it up !!!! Charges should be filed.

[@user-ki5lc9eh3d]

So sad, so many options

[@MrsBartman]

Devastating

[@therealventures]

That's horrible. If the baby was still alive, the mother should be thrown in jail. If the baby was still born, you dont just dispose of a baby inside a random trash can. Wild.

[@deborahbaker4770]

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD RATHER SEE THE INNOCENT BABY DIE INSTEAD OF BRINGING THE BABY TO A SAFE PLACE TO BE ADOPTED AND LOVED 😢

[@staceygrant7217]

Infertility is hard enough. Seeing stories like this just makes my stomach hurt. Grr...

[@therealventures]

Same

[@evangelacopeland9458]

The student needs to be in jail

[@CarolAnne-wl6zu]

Poor baby

[@annapiekarski2992]

We need to start advertising safe haven laws, on billboards or something… baby boxes too

[@katherinemosley-hensley5180]

So sad

[@tammysmith7649]

There are places where you can take an infant hospitals and such you don’t have to kill them .

[@TheRealSyrett]

The baby cried for attention and sustenance like all babies do and just like we all did when we were born. When we were born we needed someone to give us attention and care so that we could survive. This creature who gave birth denied the baby those things and waited for the baby to die rather than trying to intervene or do anything for her daughter. And then afterwards she disposed of the baby with less care than people dispose of their hamsters and their fish. This creature that gave birth also lied to the EMT team and told them that she was just having a heavy period or some other lie. So the creature that gave birth needs to at the very least be in a mental facility

Why they are not showing her face and she needs to be locked up now

[@dianegoss6726]

OMG sick sick sick

[@DeniseKimball]

Sad

[@floridadeathmetalscene2386]

This is not the first sad very sad

[@PresidentNotSoSure]

Most likely from a homeless female near down town. That's enough sad news for tonight. Rest in peace now.

[@Youdontknowme9932]

@PresidentNotSoSure it literally said the mother is a student.

[@alfredallen2191]

You can tell your listening skills suck ass!! 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@naturelover2292]

She was a student

[@lia0821]

Listen to the whole story next time before assuming. So ignorant.

[@PresidentNotSoSure]

@@lia0821 Relax ffs. I said most likely as in not sure but probable. I know that area, so save your lecture.

[@MarciaMatthews]

Some women cannot cope with a baby.

[@tamparedd813]

No charges at this time bc the trash attends UT. Typical!! If this had been at FAMU or Bethune she would have been charged right away.

[@teresahaidarian2600]

No charges because cause of death has yet to be determined

[@therealventures]

We have to wait and see.

[@destinyloree8813]

Again 😢😢😢😢

[@user-go2st5fi9w]

Modern women in America. They run your HR Departments and control management. All Karens.

[@DeluxeBrian]

found the incel

[@ES-bl1wy]

The baby may have been a stillbirth . 💔

[@mrwhite2039]

Then you report that.

[@LHS2369]

@@mrwhite2039 yes and not throw the baby in dumpster.

[@naturelover2292]

An autopsy can tell, they are probably waiting on the results of the autopsy to charge her.

[@coffeetree2068]

Just like Africa or Mexico.....

[@naturelover2292]

All cases her in the US has been little entitled yt girls and I’m sure this is the same case.

[@CowneloAlvaroid]

Watch Israel blame Hamz for this🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@drcracinggarage8047]

You mean OBiden blame 🍊 man bad

[@therealventures]

This is a Tampa story.
