A young American woman, traveling through Europe, is in custody after allegedly throwing her newborn out a Paris hotel window. The baby, pronounced dead at the hospital, is being investigated as a homicide.

It would make sense; she denied it to herself until she physically couldn’t anymore, then panicked not knowing what to do with/about it and chucked the newborn.
Given she’s American; accepting you’re pregnant at 15 knowing you’ll probably be forced to keep it (or at least birth it)… That’s tough.
I’d expect more of this unfortunately; given Americas renewed fight against abortion, contraception, and sex related health information in general.
Just to clarify, it’s the baby that was “a minor under 15” for the definition of the crime. The woman is young, but I think if she were only 15 they’d have said so, maybe called her a girl. Even in France.
