A teen mother caught with a dead newborn boy in a shopping bag as she was shoplifting at Victoria Secret in 2013 was charged with his murder on Thursday.
Tiona Rodriguez, 18, of Brooklyn, allegedly murdered the infant and shoved it in a bag with the plan to bury it in a hole then eat at IHop.
She 'carried out the murder of her newborn infant and then callously shoved him in a bag with the plan of — in her words to "take this s--- and dig a hole, put it somewhere, lol, then we go eat IHOP,"' prosecutor Rachel Ferrari said at her arraignment on a second-degree murder charge.
Police believe Rodriguez gave birth in her friend's home shortly before the shoplifting arrest.

Ferrari said the teen 'became pregnant in early 2013 and told no one. She knew she would be in big trouble if her family found out. So, she made a plan to ? this baby,' and 'began plotting weeks before he was born,' reports The New York Daily News.
'She took steps to get ready, and on October 16, 2013, she woke up and knew that this was the day. She contacted a friend and went to her home in Queens, away from the prying eyes of her friends, her family, her community in Brooklyn,' Ferrari said.
'She took a bag with her, and a change of clothes. And she went into her friend's bathroom, turned on the tub, and gave birth to her baby. Ripping the cord with her bare hands.'
Ferrari said that the baby was 8-pounds and full term at the time of its death and that it was murdered by Rodriguez.
'He wasn't stillborn, he didn't die of natural causes. He was murdered in that bathroom,' the prosecutor said.
'The defendant cleaned up after herself, leaving no sign of what transpired in that bathroom, taking her child out in a bag.'
Ferrari said that the teen was on her way to ditch the fetus when she decided to make a stop at the lingerie store.
'The defendant took a break from that plan in order to stop in to Victoria's Secret here in Manhattan and steal, shoving clothes into the same bag that carried her dead son,' Ferrari said.
She says Rodriguez was not a panicked teenager, rather she 'knew what she was doing' and had been pregnant twice before.
'The defendant was already well-versed in both hiding pregnancies and in childbirth,' Ferrari said.
'When the defendant was 14, she successfully hid her first pregnancy, and it was only when she was in the hospital in labor that her own family became aware that she was even pregnant,' Ferrari said.
The child she had when she was 14 is now four-years-old.

Ferrari says she gave birth to a second baby in 2012 in her bathtub who also died or it may have been murdered.
'In 2012, the defendant gave birth a second time. We have evidence that she gave birth to a second baby in her bathtub in her own home. She may have killed the baby, the baby may have been stillborn — but we know that she texted her boyfriend throughout the birth, ultimately telling him — it's dead,' the prosecutor said.
She accused Rodriguez of getting rid of that baby by smashing it up or burning it.
'Then the two of them discussed via text getting rid of it. Smashing it up, so it didn't look like a body. Burning it. Meeting up to bury it. That was her second pregnancy.'
Ferrari said that when Rodriguez became pregnant for the third time she didn't tell anyone.
'She told no one. But this time, she was not going to go to the hospital,' Ferrari said.
'She had derailed her life once, she was not going to do it again,' she said.
'It is this callousness that drove Tiona Rodriguez.'
Health problems: Rodriguez had complained of period pains the day before she was stopped in Victoria's Secret. She also talked about her excitement at a new job at Chipoltle

Rodriguez's lawyer Earl Ward says that neither of the deaths were murders and he claims that both the second and third pregnancies were miscarriages.
'Judge, this is not a case of murder. As I said before, Ms. Rodriguez has always maintained her innocence,' he said.
Ward said that his client was merely consumed about what to do with the fetus who 'thought it was serious menstrual camps' and not pregnancy prior to the birth.
'They have painted a picture of a young, callous girl ... that's not who Tiona Rodriguez is. She is a confused young girl who had no idea what to do with the fetus that was stillborn,' Ward said.
If convicted, Rodriguez can spend 15 years behind bars.
The grisly discovery was made when the two girls were stopped by a security guard as they left the store in Herald Square on suspicion of shoplifting.
But as well as allegedly finding stolen goods inside the bags, the guard noticed there was a strong door inside and found a tiny body under the loot.
Rodriguez told detectives she had delivered a day earlier and didn't know what to do, authorities said.
'Shoplifting with a baby in her bag the entire time certainly suggests a little bit of difficulty following society's rules,' Hettleman said at the hearing, adding that the matter was still under investigation.
On her Facebook page prior to her shoplifting arrest in 2013, Rodriguez had complained about period cramps, and added that she was excited about an upcoming job interview at Chipotle.
Last year, police ruled the baby's death a homicide by asphyxiation.

That's some different type of ? there...
-
? @ ripping the umbilical cord with her own hands....that baby better off dead than with her... No joke
-
Damn now I aint know ihop was that damn good..
-
Smh. Third pregnancy, still won't use birth control.
-
Abortion wasn't an option?
-
Yea.....she doesn't need to have kids or be in public areas.
-
I hope she wins. Should have went to planned parenthood or got birth control.
-
Idiot. Obvious her guardians have some blame in this. Lack of birth control, guidance, education, openness to make mistakes. This could of been avoided on so many fronts.
-
And these hoes tryna say childbirth is hard!
-
There's too many unanswered questions in this ? .
-Why the ? her parents ain't locked up?
-Why the ? whoever she was texting and/or whoever house she was in when she did the ? arrested?
-Why the ? she wasn't arrested or some ? after the 2012 incident?
What am I missing? Maybe I need to go back and read to make sure I ain't miss something. Maybe my hatred for this ? is blinding me to the facts, I dunno.
? this world, my ? . SMH. -
The friend,The ? that impregnated her,need to be locked the ? up for at least 18 years.(If it was me life)I started to type what they could have done.. But ? it they would have done it. Smh..
-
Well abortion is legal
-
Abstinence > Condom > Birth Control > Abortion > Adoption > Dropping the baby on someone's doorstep
Obviously she isn't too bright... She had so many other choices.
-
This chick is on the fast track to being the greatest all time ain't ? ?
How you give birth in a bathroom, ? your own child then think...“welp time to go shoplifting"
How many felonies was she going for in a day?
Plus she already been pregnant twice before the age of 18 and probably killed the one that died
Chick makes aqua look like a nun
Lock her up ASAP, she won't be an asset to society in any capacity

There is something off and illogical about Rodriguez. This is the new generation folks. Times we living in where death is broadcast on worldstar daily, where tragedy is the norm of society crucial outcomes, where disconnection of humanity and the allure for materialistics is the new "love". The devil is a " Santa Claus figure " the boogeyman!!!!! This is life bruh, life with no rules.
My Lil brothers are products of current times.They are disconnected. They are so desensitized to deaths because it's broadcast from every ally, and " ? up" ? is just another "story" or ? .
Her parents were at fault, her friends were at fault, her whole cirlce was at fault because all of this point to one thing: disconnection. Disconnection of communication, feelings, and empathy from ALL areas ( empathy for her new born, empathy from her parents to understand her pregnancy, empathy for herself to appreciate her worth and self love to not make the same mistakes of non- protected sex). The troubling point of her stealing lingerie right after she killed her "son"......... Is so symbolic, deep, and dark on so many levels bruh. Just that philosophy for her to do this will fly over people heads when in reality she is corrupted with ? demons, greed, and envy.
Let her story be a reflection of times. We all need to have our battle gear strapped on, and our priorities in line because its only gonna get worse. But we have to protect ourselves and our family. Many wars are raging man, only the strong..... -

Nail on the head
Bruh in her mind she just escaped a situation that she feared was gonna destroy her life (killing her third child at the age if 18)...and just hours later her first action to take is to steal undergarments to get sexy for the next/ current no good dude in her life
That ? is baffling... And her being young is not even in the equation...that's no morality, empathy or humanity....she's probably all ready evil if not extremely close
-
Them pancakes aint no joke tho
-
I think at the very least the state should just neuter this chick.. Should have been done that.. Her and a lot more that don't give a ? about their offspring just need their tubes tied.. Problem solved... No more murdered mistreated kids and them ? can ? till they catch a fatal std

Oh, police are the authority on this type of ? out now ? Guess we can shut down the coroner's office. -

While this right here still rereading and digesting...

-
Get that hoe out of society immediately.
-
I got her being disconnected from her family.. maybe foster care or living with estranged people because her relatives are dead or on drugs. Her behavior is abnormal.
-
I mean how sick, vile, and disgusting can you be?...............................................that you would want to eat at IHOP.
for that alone, i hope she gets disfigured by a soldering gun -
stop nuttin in these crazy ass ?
