Attempted murder would stick and be much more appropriate.
My thoughts as well. This mom is 23 years old and already has another child; thus, she knew that what she did would be harmful to the baby. Also, the cord was around the babie's neck, and she didn't unwrap it before sticking the baby in the plastic bag (along with the box of tampons). I also find it very hard to believe that the baby's grandparents didn't know their daughter was pregnant, as one of her co-workers asked her several months ago how long she was taking off for maternity leave.
