A Minnesota mom has been accused of drowning her adorable eight-month-old son in the tub before having sex with her boyfriend while the infant lay dead nearby.

Esperanza Rae Harding, 20, has been charged with second degree murder over the February 28 incident after showing up at the hospital on March 1 and claiming the toddler died naturally.

Prosecutors allege that she drowned her baby boy, Mateo, in the tub at a Bloomington hotel on the Minnesota-Minneapolis border because he was ruining her bath by crying.

Harding's boyfriend Edwin Cosmo Trudeau, 18, has also been charged with aiding an offender for allegedly turning up at the hotel and advising her to put the baby's body in the trash.

Both Harding and Trudeau also attempted CPR on the child to no avail, and had sex in the bedroom while his dead body lay on the ground in the bathroom, according to the criminal complaint.

The complaint says Minneapolis cops went to the children's hospital on March 6, where Harding claimed her son had died of natural causes on March 1.

Since the hospital had no record of her son attending, cops interviewed Harding who eventually admitted that the baby died in the Bloomington hotel on February 28.

Harding confessed that she 'wrapped up his body, put it in a backpack, and threw it in a dumpster'.

She added that Trudeau 'did not like her child and that he wanted her to give him up for adoption' according to the complaint.

'She stated that Trudeau wanted her to prove that he was her top priority,' the document says.

And they say men are the sadistic violent ones. Women are violent less often, but when they are they often exceed the worst men.

[You think these morons are registered to vote?]

Yes. They got $20 each to register and have their ballot mailed to the address of a leftist, who then fills it out and drops it in the box along with dozens of others.

Boyfriend is no Prince Charming either. I imagine he’s pro abortion

I mean just to keep things in perspective.

Do they have a Driver's license?

Minnesota has Automatic Voter Registration (Motor voter).

I’m betting he laid down the law to lose the kid or lose him.
So, she chose him over the child.

Piece of self-loathing despicable white trash. There needs to be a swift application of justice, if that’s possible in Minnesota.

I’m guessing the moron reporter/editor meant the Minneapolis-St. Paul border. But then some Brit wrote it.

Minnesota used to be “Minnesota Nice”. That wad before they seem to have all gone to the dark Democrap side but i repeat myself.

This animal and her boyfriend need to be beaten to a red pulp and then used for compost. They have no place in our world. I hope the baby finds peace in the arms of the Creator.

I keep wondering if when animals like her draw their last breath in this life and open them if the eternal life those babies they abused will be escorting them to their eternal torment.

Only going to get alot worse thanks to the depraved neoCONs and communists who couldn’t wait to tear asunder 1950s peak Christian America, all so they could worship the false idol of diversity!

Entire generations now of people raised in a godless mishmash of foreign and bizarre cultures and religions and atheism. Raised by the boob tube!

Yup. Apparently she took a photo of the baby face down in the tub, and sent it to him.
