On May 7, 2017, American teenager Brooke Skylar Richardson (born March 9, 1999) gave birth at home alone and buried her newborn daughter, who was possibly stillborn, in the backyard of her parents' house in Carlisle, Ohio. Two months later she described what had happened to her doctor, who informed police. Richardson was charged with but acquitted of aggravated murder, child endangerment and involuntary manslaughter, and was only found guilty of serious mistreatment of a corpse. She was subsequently given three years of probation, which was ended early by the court.
