Former Athlete at Mercyhurst College Charged With Killing Her Newborn Baby
A former womenâs volleyball player at Mercyhurst College was charged on Tuesday with homicide for allegedly suffocating her baby minutes after giving birth last month. The student, Teri Rhodes, never told anyone she was pregnant, but had searched the Internet for âherbal abortion techniquesâ and âwhat can kill a fetus,â the Times-News, a newspaper in Erie, Pa., reported.
The 18-year-old sophomore underwent a physical examination on August 10, and the doctor asked if she was pregnant, according to the newspaper. Ms. Rhodes said she didnât think so. The doctor cleared her to play volleyball, and she practiced with the team that day.
Two days later, she gave birth to a baby girl in the bathroom of her campus apartment. She placed the infant in a plastic bag in the bathtub, news reports said. Her roommate, worried about noises coming from the bathroom,
Ms. Rhodes was arraigned on multiple charges on Tuesday and could face life in prison if she is convicted.
Concern that some pregnant college athletes may feel pressure to have abortions prompted the NCAA to review its guidelines on pregnancy this year, and new guidance is in the works. Many colleges do not have policies to protect pregnant athletes, who may worry, among other things, that they could lose their scholarships.
Officials at Mercyhurst, a small Roman Catholic college in northwestern Pennsylvania, declined to comment on the case. The athletic director did not respond to calls today. In a written statement, the college said: âNever can we avert every tragedy. They are a part of life.â âSara Lipka
Answer
Very, very sad for the poor baby.
A tragedy.
Unwanted babies unfortunately are a fact of life, not that I'm condoning the mothers actions. But babies can be surrended at hospitals, can't they? Surely that would've been better than death for the poor child.

Answer
My fiance & I planned trip to wine country (Erie PA). I was so mad at him he didn't pack a single thing. (so I packed him at 4am) He was in the shower for ever. He forgot the directions so we had to turn around. He wanted to stop at this state park on the way up. FINE.... I wasn't thilled since we would be driving for 3 hours & were already late! Then we got lost. I wanted to skip the state park. We stopped we were over looking a gorge where you could see for about 8 miles. We got there at 6:40am right around sunrise. I was taken photos, he asked if he could take the camera for new batteries & if I wanted my drink. I said no...(I was so mad at this point) So when he came back down the hill he said my name. When I turned around he was on 1 knee ring in hand, & asked "will you marry me" I started crying. I couldn't breath!!! I hugged & kissed him. It was perfect. He reminded me I never said YES...I told him I thought I was going to pass out I was so excited! All our photos from there my face is bright read from crying.
To make the story better. He had taken the camera set it up on a rock so when he got down on 1 knee it took a series of photos. He has the photo proposal & my freak out on film!
I spent the next few hours calling family & friends. Crying my eyes out. I think if I didn't call with such great news they would have killed me it was before 7:30am on a Saturday Morning!
CONGRATS to you also! I waited 6 years & 4 months for him to propose!
