PEMBERTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. – A New Jersey woman who authorities say put her newborn baby in the middle of a road and set the child on fire was charged Saturday with murder.

Burlington County prosecutors said Hyphernkemberly Dorvilier, 22, of Pemberton Township was jailed on $500,000 bail. It wasn't known if she has retained a lawyer.

Police responded to a Friday night call about a fire in the middle of a residential road in the township, about 30 miles east of Philadelphia. Officers found the baby in flames and put out the fire.

The child reportedly was alive and breathing at the time she was flown to a hospital in Philadelphia, said Joel Bewley, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office. She died about two hours later, he said in a news release. An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.

Authorities believe the mother doused her baby with an accelerant then set her on fire, Bewley said. They do not have a motive. The woman was taken into custody Friday night.

Prosecutor Robert Bernardi said details of the baby's birth were still being investigated. The baby's age has not been disclosed. Bernardi would not comment on whether the mother has a criminal record or if she has been involved with child welfare officials.

Dave Joseph, 45, of Pemberton Township told The Burlington County Times that he saw a young woman get out of her car and light something on fire in the middle of Simontown Road. He said the woman told him she was burning dog waste.

Joseph said the woman appeared calm and soon tried to flee the scene, but residents stopped her.

"It was just mind-boggling," Joseph said. "It was a nightmare even if you have a strong heart."


JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!

 

Easy solution. Set her on fire!

 

Hyphernkemberly

 

It looks someone already did.

 

They are going to perform an autopsy to determine the cause of death? Really?

 

"Hyphernkemberly?" Really? That says everything you need to know right there. It's so obvious that if this wretched woman had never been born, the world would have been a better place. Probably some waste of skin sack of shit boyfriend pressured her into getting rid of a nuisance in their lives. Combined with drugs and the I.Q. of a house plant, this is the result...

 

yeah, right?!?

 

'maybe he had a cold

 

If only we spent more on curing poverty!

 

They are still trying to find the father, for comment.

 

I hope she doesn't go to jail. She starts college in the Fall.

 

Gentle giant.

 

The article does not say how many other children she has.

let's see 22 years old...hmmm

i would say 4 in total by 3 separate men.

 

This is the end result of our welfare state. And if you don't support it, you're called a bigot.

Jesus Christ on a Cracker. The girl's name has "hyphen" misspelled and she's lighting her baby on fire in the street.

Welcome to liberal America. They call this "helping" people.

 

oh dat bitch hyphernkimberly she live down the street that bitch crazy

 

"He said the woman told him she was burning dog waste."

Come on--that's funny stuff.

 

She no longer is a candidate for mother of the year.
