Sarah Tatum is a student at the University of Arizona who started to gain a lot of weight. She told people that it was a thyroid problem. Guess what, she LIED. She was pregnant. She gave birth in a dorm shower room this week and then put the newborn in a plastic bag and tied it very tight. If not for some quick thinking students, this newborn could have died. Thank God they paid attention and called the police. Sarah told police that the baby was born dead, but the baby was alive in the bag:
Doctors said the baby was suffering from hypoxia, a lack of oxygen, and believe he was in the bag for at least two hours
And of course, Arizona DOES have a safe haven law, which she could have surrendered the baby anonymously!! And she is old enough to know better. At 19 years of age, she knows that putting a newborn in a bag and closing it tight so that the newborn can’t breathe is WRONG and of course, a CRIME.

Any idea how far along she was before she started to show? How did she manage to hide her belly, or didn’t she get one?
