Antonia Lopez admitted to throwing her newborn daughter out a second-floor window
A 16-year-old girl admitted to killing her newborn daughter by throwing the 'secret baby' out of a second-floor window. 

Antonia Lopez gave birth in secret in her Omaha, Nebraska, bedroom on September 30, 2016, before throwing the newborn out the window and soliciting help in getting rid of the body on Facebook, police said.
The baby, who was about two months premature, measured 14 inches long and weighed just two pounds.

She suffered bleeding near the skull, brain, spine and abdomen before she was pronounced dead, an autopsy revealed. 
Lopez denied knowing she was pregnant but messages on her Snapchat account suggest she did realise and kept it hidden for months.  
She was originally charged as an adult but entered a plea of admission after her case was moved to the juvenile court, the Omaha World Herald reported. 
Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine, whose office agreed to move the case down to the juvenile court based on Lopez's mental state and the lack of a criminal history, said the teen's reaction was not premeditated.
He told the World Herald: 'To me, after we looked into it, the way things happened, it didn't seem to be anything you would label as an adult-specific act.

'It wasn't a planned-out, thought-out process. It was more of a panicked reaction.'
Lopez, who would have faced 20 years to life if convicted in district court, was ordered to continue school and undergo both medical and psychiatric care while she remains in foster care.
Lopez could be placed on probation or sent to a group home or detention center until she turns 19.
Kleine said: 'She obviously has some issues that need to be dealt with.'

Lopez (pictured) then told her mother what had happened, according to authoritiesThe baby, measuring 14 inches long and weighing just two pounds, suffered bleeding near the skull, brain, spine and abdomen before she was pronounced dead, an autopsy revealed 

The teenager told police she didn't know she was pregnant when she woke up on September 30 - a claim her boyfriend disputed.
She began pushing the baby out onto a towel she laid on the ground and pierced the amniotic sac with a nail clipper, police said.
Lopez panicked and threw her baby out the window, and her mother later called 911 after she found the child in the grass below. The baby was pronounced dead by the time she was taken to the hospital.
A pathologist told police the baby was alive when she was thrown out the window, even though Lopez told her boyfriend: 'Babe I had a miscarriage.'
Lopez sent her boyfriend several text messages between 12.56am and 3.06am, including one that read: 'Babe I’m having contractions in my lower abs every couple seconds. It hurts so much.'
Less than two hours later, she wrote: 'It was a girl by the way.'
She later sent another text that read: 'Babe we can try again if you still want to be with me.'

Lopez went missing in August last year and was believed to be a runaway, according to WOWT.  
Lopez's grandfather, John Barcelona, told KETV he had no idea his granddaughter was pregnant.
'She looked like she was well underweight more than anything else, I would've never dreamed that she was pregnant,' he said. 'In my head, I just can't believe it, I can't believe it.' 
It is unclear whether other members of Lopez's family knew about her pregnancy.
