American Teen Arrested in Paris for Allegedly Throwing Newborn from Hotel Window

The 18-year-old mother, traveling with a group of young adults, is under investigation for homicide as authorities consider possible pregnancy denial.

An 18-year-old American tourist allegedly threw her newborn baby from a second-floor window of an Ibis Styles hotel in Paris' 20th arrondissement early Monday morning.
The baby, found with the umbilical cord still attached, was rushed to a hospital but succumbed to injuries shortly after arrival.
Authorities are investigating the incident as a homicide of a minor under 15 years old, with the Paris Child Protection Brigade leading the case.
Officials are considering whether the mother experienced pregnancy denial, a psychological condition where individuals are unaware of or unable to accept their pregnancy.
The young woman, reportedly part of a study trip with other American students, remains in police custody and is undergoing medical treatment following the unassisted delivery.
