Teenager arrested after dead baby was found wrapped in a towel on University of Tampa campus

A former Florida college student is facing several charges in the death of a newborn infant, whose body was found wrapped in a towel in a trash can.

Brianna Moore, 19, has been charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child, child neglect with great bodily harm and two other counts including failure to report a death.

State Attorney Suzy Lopez said Moore was arrested in her home state of Mississippi in the town of Quitman and will be extradited to Florida.

An autopsy revealed how the baby girl was found with multiple fractured ribs along her spine and hemorrhaging in her lungs.

The Medical Examiner the cause of death to be homicide.

'It breaks my heart to know that this baby girl could still be alive today if this woman had alerted authorities that she needed help. Instead, she took actions that directly lead to the death of her newborn baby,' Lopez said.

'This is a difficult and nuanced case to prosecute, and our community must continue to educate women about the many resources available to them in situations like this one. This baby's death was avoidable.

'I've been a prosecutor for more than 20 years in my own hometown... this is a case that I struggled with,' Lopez said through tears. 'This involved a newborn baby that wasn't even given a chance to live.'

Lopez has vowed to make sure Moore will be held accountable for her actions.

'For crying out loud, there's a fire station across the street from the University of Tampa,' Lopez explained. 'Tampa General Hospital is a mere two to three minutes away by car.'

I think it long past time that all college dorms post about safe haven laws.

College students have more abortions than other females.

It truly boggles my mind the girl who gives birth and dump her baby in a trash can is treated like a horrific monster and charged with crimes... while the very same girl would be a courageous heroine exercising her most basic rights if she had just opted for a late-term abortion a couple days earlier.

Because in her mind, if it hasn't been born yet it's still a part of her body, and disposing of it by abortion is equivalent to clipping a fingernail.

I know. It's a sick way of thinking.

Behind all of the screaming about "My body, my choice" is the deep fear of betrayal and abandonment. That girl didn't get pregnant by herself. Where is the father of the child?

That's how you know it's all a pile of reeking cowplop.

That’s the part of the equation which is usually omitted. The responsibility is always twofold.

In today’s world, you’d have to have an old fashioned police lineup. Gather all the suspects, and do a DNA test.
It’s not like the old “going steady” anymore.

It's sad that sometimes I have to literally check my sanity by reading the comments on some of these horrible stories

just to see if anyone else is as horrified about these stories

or am I the only one left with a God fearing attitude.

Feminism has turned many women today into lust filled and cold blooded biatches with no maternal instincts. Probably fun to date but I can’t imagine why any man would marry such a creature.

There’s entirely too many female county attorneys, state attorneys, state judges, federal judges, prosecutors and school board members in Florida. When you look at the local ballot it’s always loaded with them. When you look inside a sheriff deputy vehicle you see a woman behind the wheel, the driver in front of her is violating the law yet the female law enforcer just ignores it. I have seen this countless times on the road. It’s become a fascistic matriarchy down here. Something is not right. Women in all of the wrong places.

Yep. If laws were intellectually consistent, either she should be cited for no more than practicing medicine without a license, or abortionists should be charged with manslaughter like she has been.

“Women in all of the wrong places.”

With female cops and soldiers you are paying full price but getting half the effectiveness. Ever watch female officers try to handcuff a guy who is resisting? They can’t do it without help. I’ve seen 2 women try to cuff a scrawny teenage boy and fail. A male cop came over and did it easily. If a suspect runs they can’t catch him. It’s ridiculous. In the military it’s worse. Less strength, less endurance, less combat effectiveness.

I think it is a matter of “If I can’t have it, no one can”.

“you’d have to be very hard up to want to make a baby with her .”

Probably a case of “closing time”.
