See What A 19-Year-Old Did After Secretly Giving Birth To Baby

After secretly giving birth to a baby, a 19-year-old who hid her pregnancy from her parents dropped her baby from the eight-floor of the Chicago apartment she lives in.

The baby who initially survived the fall was discovered in the grass by a man on Wednesday and then taken to the hospital where she died the next day.

According to Daily Mail, the baby girl was still alive when she was found by a man in the grass outside the high-rise in the Uptown neighborhood just before midnight on Wednesday.
Mubashra Uddin did not tell her parents, who are Pakistani and Muslim, after she became pregnant because she knew they would not approve, according to Assistant State Attorney Patrick Turnock.

Uddin gave birth around 11.20pm to a full-term 7 pound 11 ounce girl in a bedroom she shared with her younger sister. When she heard her mother approach the room, Uddin dropped the girl out of the bedroom’s window, Turnrock told The Chicago Tribune.
The DeVry University student fell pregnant by her boyfriend and only told him and a friend that she was expecting. She hid the pregnancy from her family with clothing, according to Turnrock

The man who found the newborn baby girl asked security at the building to call an ambulance and wrapped the bloody and naked child in shirts and two baby blankets he retrieved from his home nearby.
The baby girl suffered extensive injuries, including fractures to her skull, spine and ribs, a broken shoulder, and a lacerated liver and bowel.
She was taken to Weiss Memorial Hospital, just a block from the apartment building, according to NBC Chicago.
