A woman who bagged and threw a newborn baby out a window has pleaded guilty to the shocking crime.

Irine Jerotich, 26, briefly faced Melbourne Magistrates Court today accused of reckless conduct endangering life.

An infant was found with life-threatening injuries outside a Dandenong North home about 2.40am on August 30, 2024.

The newborn was taken to hospital, suffering serious injuries.

Jerotich, who is on bail, attended the brief hearing dressed in a white hoodie and a long braided ponytail placed over her shoulder.

She was not required to speak, other than to indicate to magistrate Leon Fluxman that she was pleading guilty to the single offence.

No details of the crime or allegations were aired in court today.

Initially, charges indicated that Jerotich put the infant into a plastic bag and tossed the child from the bathroom window onto the concrete, actions that “endangered the unnamed infant’s life”.

The offence occurred between August 29 and 30, 2024, the court documents reveal.

Jerotich was also previously accused of reckless conduct endangering injury to an infant, but that charge was discontinued.

Her bail was extended until the matter goes to a pre-sentence hearing in the County Court of Victoria in February.

While she is on bail, Jerotich cannot leave Victoria and must reside at her home address.
