Police Say Teen Mom's Buried Infant Was Alive at Birth
An 18-year-old Ohio woman has been charged with reckless
homicide after investigators say they found the remains of her newborn
baby buried outside her family home earlier this month.On July 14, acting on a tip from a doctor's office, police say they found the body of Brooke Skylar Richardson's baby in a backyard in Carlisle, Ohio, about 40 miles north of Cincinnati.
One week later, on July 21, the Warren County prosecutor charged Richardson with homicide based on evidence that her infant "was born alive and was not a stillborn baby," the Dayton Daily News reports.
Investigators believe Richardson killed her baby around May 7, though they are still waiting for a final report from the coroner's office on the cause of death.
Police returned to the property July 20 and arrested Richardson. They also searched for additional evidence around that time, including digging near a fire pit in the yard, WDTN reports.
At Richardson's arraignment on Friday, the judge scheduled a preliminary hearing for Aug. 1. Richardson had already entered a not-guilty plea, and the judge continued her $15,000 bond.
If convicted, the recent high school graduate faces between one to five years in prison. After the arraignment, Richardson's attorney, Charles M. Rittgers, called his client a "very good person." "She didn’t drink. She wasn’t a partier or a smoker," Rittgers said.
"By all measures a very good girl who helped children."

Parents Rubbed Painkiller on Newborn's Gums to Mask Addiction
A 3-month-old girl who tested positive for meth, heroin, and
morphine was allegedly dosed with a painkiller by her parents hours
after her April 9 birth to mask the girl's addiction from hospital
staff.The Utah County Sheriff reports that Colby Glen Wilde, 29, and Lacey Dawn Christenson, 26, face multiple charges, including child endangerment and drug distribution—though the Salt Lake Tribune reports these charges don't touch on what allegedly happened at the hospital.
Having used heroin and prescription drugs heavily throughout her pregnancy, Christenson admitted to police she knew her daughter would be born addicted. When hospital staff weren't looking, she and Wilde allegedly rubbed a crushed painkiller called Suboxone on the girl's gums to mask her symptoms.
The case only began to surface two months later, when Wilde allegedly grabbed items from a Walmart shelf and immediately tried to return them; police say he dropped his baby, who was strapped into a carseat, two times while attempting to flee, reports Gephardt Daily.
The Utah Division of Child and Family Services took custody of the couple's four children; the youngest three kids tested positive for meth. In late June, police say a search warrant led to the discovery of drugs and related items all over the house, including next to a bassinet and sippy cup.
On July 18, they executed another search warrant and say the revelation about the alleged post-birth dosing occurred in an interview with the couple after that.
The couple's cash bail has been set at $10,000, reports CBS News. The baby's current health has not been reported. (Withdrawal can kill an infant.)
