God bless the child who served his purpose on earth very quickly.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - An 18-year-old New York woman was indicted on murder charges on Thursday, two years after a retail store security guard found her carrying a dead newborn baby in a shopping bag, prosecutors said.

Tiona Rodriguez was charged with one count of second-degree murder for her son's death, which was ruled by the city's medical examiner a homicide caused by asphyxiation, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said in a statement.  "I am confident that the experienced homicide and child abuse prosecutors in my office will see that justice is served in this tragic case,” Vance said.

Rodriguez gave birth to the 8-pound boy in the bathroom of a friend’s apartment in Queens in October 2013, prosecutors said.

Brilliant Ladies of the West Kill Book Club

It is with great humility that I thank the West Kill Book Club for its gracious hospitality and positive reception for my book, Inconceivable!  Imagine me with an all-female audience discussing pregnancy and self-esteem, ambivalence to breast-feeding and infanticide.  Thanks to everyone for their honest feedback and delicious cooking.

As a friendly reminder, you all promised to use the principle of 6-degrees-of-separation to move the book toward Barbra Streisand, who will play Althea, Tom Hanks, who will play Plexi, Steven Speilberg or anyone else involved in the movie business who wants to see the screenplay.

Inconceivable! In today's news...what some new mothers do...

DALLAS (Reuters) - A murder charge has been dropped against a Dallas-area hotel worker accused of killing a baby she gave birth to in an employee locker-room toilet by allowing it to drown, police said on Wednesday.

The charge was withdrawn against Luz Aurora Granados-Reyes, 25, after the Collin County Medical Examiner said he could not prove the baby girl, believed to be 30 to 32 weeks in gestation, was alive when she was delivered in the toilet.

The medical examiner ruled there was insufficient evidence to prove the baby was born alive. A specialist will conduct further tests but it is unlikely the medical examiner’s ruling will change, officials said.

Paramedics found Granados-Reyes sitting on a toilet with the umbilical cord still attached to her and the female infant submerged in water beneath her, the warrant said.

The woman "made no attempt to remove the infant, provide aid or call 911 for assistance," the warrant said.

WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP) — Police are crediting a Pittsburgh TV news crew with saving the life of an overdose victim by calling 911 and performing CPR on him before emergency responders could arrive.

WPXI-TV (http://bit.ly/1QRyJwK ) says photographer Dave Clark was getting ready for a news segment with reporter Cara Sapida (sah-PY'-dah) on Wednesday in Washington, Pennsylvania, when Clark saw the man slumped over in a vehicle, not breathing.

Clark performed CPR while Sapida called 911.

Clark says he was thinking, "OK, if we can just keep a pulse going till the paramedics get here, we'll be cool."

Police Chief Chris Lupino says officers took over CPR when they arrived, and paramedics revived the man with the overdose antidote Narcan.
