| Carmela Camero confessed to killing her newborn |
According to Henderson Police, the girl gave birth in her home Sunday night, then slept with the dead baby overnight before calling a hospital Monday to say her child was having trouble breathing. Police went to the home and found the dead child.
Camero soon confessed that she suffocated the baby. She told police that she feared "she would be kicked out of her house" and "would have to live in the ghetto with her son" and "they would have a terrible life."
What she didn't know is that she could have dropped the baby off at a fire station, police station, or hospital under Nevada's safe haven law.
