[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] A Florida woman is facing manslaughter charges over the disturbing 2022 death of her newborn son. Bianca DeSouza (pictured in her mugshot, above) was 19 years old at the time of the May 2022 incident when her hours-old infant died on a bed in her mother’s Boca Raton home.

According to a probable cause affidavit in the case, Bianca was laying on a bed in another room when her mother came home to find the infant — who had been born only hours before — lying lifelessly on a bed alone.

Now, finally, details are coming to light about what transpired. Per the arrest affidavit uncovered on Wednesday by People, Bianca’s mother asked the teenager to call 911 to get medical help for the infant.

However, the teen allegedly replied that her phone was going to die, and declined to make the call. The mother rushed to call police, and first responders showed up to render aid.
