Two juveniles in Massachusetts were arrested after their infant daughter’s body was reportedly found buried on Monday.
Columbus police said they initially got a report about a 15-year-old girl miscarrying seven days earlier. Police determined the girl gave birth at her home, the same place where her newborn’s body was discovered in a shallow grave, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
The teen girl reportedly hid her pregnancy, and police believe her daughter was born alive but ultimately died. Though the cause of death remains undisclosed, the mother and the baby’s father — a 17-year-old — were arrested and charged.
The teens are charged with involuntary manslaughter and abuse of a corpse. They have not been publicly identified, as they have not been charged as adults.
