SICKENING: Mother Accused Of Drowning Baby In Porta-Potty

This is quite disturbing.

A mother in New Mexico has been arrested and charged after allegedly drowning her baby in a porta-potty.

According to authorities, the woman gave birth to the baby inside a portable toilet in a park, then, soon after, drowned the baby in the toxic chemicals inside the portable toilet.

Fox News provided more details on the heinous act:

A New Mexico woman is facing charges after she allegedly gave birth in a portable toilet and then killed the newborn by drowning them in the holding tank.

Sonia Cristal Jimenez, 38, arrived at Memorial Medical Center in Las Cruces at around 10:30 p.m. on Feb. 7, when staff said she appeared as if she had just given birth, but she had no baby with her, Las Cruces Police said in a press release.

Hospital staff then notified police about the unusual encounter.

Jimenez’s boyfriend said they had been at Burn Lake, which is located about six miles away, and that his girlfriend had used a portable toilet.

Officers rushed to the deserted area and discovered the infant girl dead in the portable toilet’s holding tank.

Investigators suspect that Jimenez gave birth, cut the umbilical cord and left the child in the holding tank, where she drowned.

Police stated an autopsy revealed that the baby was alive when she was dropped into the portable toilet, and that “she breathed and swallowed the blue chemical liquid commonly used in portable restroom sanitation.”

Investigators do not believe that Jimenez’s boyfriend knew she had given birth, and they do not plan to press charges against him at this time, per the release.

The LCPD and the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator (OMI) did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

“This is one of the most heartbreaking and disturbing cases I have encountered in my career. We will work closely with the District Attorney’s Office to pursue justice for this baby girl,” Las Cruces Police Chief Jeremy Story said in an email to the Santa Fe New Mexican, per the outlet.
