EASTON, Pa. -- A Pennsylvania woman gave birth to a son in the bathroom of a sports bar, then abandoned him to die in the restaurant's toilet, authorities said Monday in charging her with the baby's death.

Amanda Catherine Hein was arraigned and held without bail on one count of criminal homicide in the death of her baby last week.

A cleaning crew found the baby's body Aug. 19 at Starters Pub in Bethlehem, about 30 miles north of Philadelphia. Authorities said the baby was at 33 to 36 weeks gestation and viable.

An autopsy found the baby was born alive, the Northampton County coroner said.

In an interview with police, the 26-year-old Allentown woman admitted giving birth to the baby boy in the restroom a night earlier, wrapping him in a plastic bag from a garbage container and placing him in the toilet tank, court documents said.

District Attorney John Morganelli said Hein was watching a pay-per-view wrestling event with several other people when she complained of back pain and excused herself.

One of the men told police she was gone for a long time before returning to the table, getting her purse and going outside to smoke. The man said he saw that she was bleeding and asked if she needed to go to the hospital, but she told him she didn't have insurance and he dropped her off at her house.

Hein told police that no one else knew she was pregnant or that she had given birth in the bathroom, according to an affidavit of probable cause.

Parents who do not wish to raise a newborn child can anonymously turn the baby over to any hospital in Pennsylvania.

Why does this shit happen when so many states (all? not sure but it's gotta be close?) have the safe haven or similar laws?

[Key West Digger]

Wait, this didn't happen in Florida?

i have no idea, feets. its not like they are going to get in trouble, right? isn't it just drop them off, no questions asked?

This has a little bit from one of the guys who was with her at the bar- http://www.hlntv.com/article/2013/08...in?hpt=hln10_9

Denial, I'm guessing.

[puzzld]

Denial, I'm guessing.

Yep. Hard as it is to imagine, the human mind is capable of just ignoring stuff it can't accept, like pregnancy.

I've told the story before about the sister of someone I know who was still denying she was pregnant when the wheeled her into the delivery room. Fortunately, she had family and a boy friend who basically had her under house arrest to keep her from hurting herself or the baby.

They all do for newborns. The ages vary from state to state though.

don't abort. killing fetuses is bad. carry until it's viable then wrap it up and leave it too die. makes plenty of sense.

Amanda Hein allegedly wrapped baby in plastic bag, left him in toilet tank

Prosecutors claim Hein returned to table, watched rest of pay-per-view event afterward

Hein is charged with criminal homicide

A Pennsylvania woman is being held without bond after she allegedly gave birth to a baby boy in a bar bathroom, killed him and left his body in a toilet tank.

According to prosecutors, 26-year-old Amanda Catherine Hein went with three men to Starters Pub in Lower Saucon Township on August 18 to watch a pay-per-view wrestling event. The following morning, a cleaning crew at the pub allegedly discovered the dead body of a newborn baby wrapped in a plastic bag in a toilet tank in the ladies' bathroom.

Investigators found that one of the booths in the pub had brown staining and liquid on it that's consistent with blood, according to Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli. Police checked the bar’s records and made contact with the person who had reserved the booth for the event that night.

Police then interviewed Luis Rivera, who said he sat in that booth with Hein during the event. Rivera claimed Hein complained about discomfort and spasms that evening before excusing herself to go to the bathroom, Morganelli told reporters Monday.

Rivera told police Hein was gone for “an extended period of time,” then returned to the table and went outside to smoke a cigarette, according to Morganelli.

When Hein came back, Rivera allegedly asked if she was OK, and she said she was but she was in pain. She stayed for about an hour to watch the rest of the event. Rivera noticed that there appeared to be liquid on Hein’s clothes that looked like blood, Morganelli said.

Rivera said he asked Hein multiple times if she needed to go a hospital but she refused, so he dropped her off at home, according to authorities.

A medical examiner performed an autopsy on the baby on August 20 and found that the boy was born alive and viable and had gestated for 33 to 36 weeks. The cause of death was determined to be suffocation.

When Hein was interviewed by police, she allegedly admitted she gave birth in a bathroom stall and left the baby in the toilet tank, court documents stated.

“She placed the child in a plastic bag which she obtained from the garbage can in the stall. She then put the plastic bag containing the child in the water tank for the toilet. Hein advised after she placed the bag and child in the toilet tank, she returned to the dining area until the event was over,” a probable cause affidavit alleged.

Morganelli said Monday that Hein had known she was pregnant for a few months but did not tell anyone. Investigators are still trying to determine whom the child’s father was.

Prosecutors have not yet made a decision on whether to seek the death penalty in the case. Morganelli told reporters he does not know what may have motivated Hein to allegedly kill her child.

“I cannot get inside this lady’s head,” he said. “I have no clue.”

Morganelli described the case as “very upsetting.”

Northhampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek reminded reporters that Pennsylvania has safe haven laws that allow a parent to relinquish a child to the state at any hospital up to 28 days after birth with no questions asked.

“It’s a sad situation,” Morganelli said. “This young lady made a very, very bad choice. Why? I don’t know.”

Court records do not indicate whether Hein has an attorney. Her stepmother told the Morning Call newspaper that she had not even known Hein was pregnant.

Hein appeared in court Monday for a preliminary arraignment on a criminal homicide charge. She was denied bond.

I feel Kevansvault's rage on this one.

Thank you. What in the fuck is wrong with people? One look at this bitch and I was like "special needs adult." I judged, so sue me. As if it doesn't say enough that she went to a bar to watch PPV wrestling. What a worthless piece of shit this woman is.

I wanna know if she's actually had sex, or if she slipped and fell in a porn theater.

Stepmom of accused Pa. baby killer says she would?ve made room for child

Relatives of a Pennsylvania woman who allegedly gave birth in a bathroom of a sports bar before placing the baby in a trash bag and stuffing it in a toilet tank say they would "make room, find a way" if she ever got pregnant.
Speaking outside their Allentown home Monday, Amanda Hein's shocked stepmother, Louiseann Hein, burst into tears upon hearing of the 26-year-old's charge of criminal homicide ? one punishable by death.
"I told her she always had a home here," Louiseann Hein told the Morning Call. "We would make room. Would find a way."
It was just after her stepdaughter received a letter in the mail from Planned Parenthood after moving in with her in January that she remembered starting up this conversation of ?What if??

(..)

Hein's stepmother is still trying to get over the shock, having had no clue she was even pregnant.
In January, Hein moved in with her after living with a boyfriend for six months, she said.
She worked at a dog day care business in Allentown and, when she came home from work, generally kept to herself by watching movies in her bedroom.
