After the body of a newborn was found inside the closet of former competitive cheerleader Laken Snelling, an infant safety activist shared that the tragedy “could have been avoided.”
The 21-year-old was taken into custody on August 31, four days after officers were called to a home on Park Avenue in Lexington, Kentucky, for a report of an unresponsive baby.
Snelling has since admitted to giving birth to the infant and is now facing several charges while awaiting trial.
