A 19-year-old new mum and her newborn son are in hospital following a traumatic birth.

The baby was born in Anambra yesterday, May 22, to the teen mum who had hidden her pregnancy from her family.

The young mum reportedly gave birth when no one was at home and allegedly st@bbed the baby in the thr0at. She then took him and dumped in the gutter.

However, a child who saw her raised alarm and residents picked up the child and traced the mother.

They found her alone at home, bleeding

Both mother and child were rushed to the hospital, according to Chinenye Henrietta who shared the story and video on Facebook.

While some claim the woman st@bbed the baby intentionally to get rid of him, other witnesses have claimed that it was a mistake. They said the girl, while trying to cut the pl@c£nta, mistakenly st@bbed herself in her l@dy p@rts and also mistakenly sl@shed the baby’s thr0@t.

No arrests have been made.
