Chloe Coplen-Anderson, an 18-year-old from Nebraska, was sentenced to 35 to 60 years in prison for the second-degree murder of her newborn son. The tragic event, which unfolded in her childhood home, saw Coplen-Anderson give birth secretly at just 16 years old before slashing her infant's throat. Her parents discovered the gruesome scene after reporting that the baby was not breathing. The case raised significant questions about her mental health and history of trauma, as indicated by her attorney during sentencing, who suggested her actions stemmed from long-term abuse.
