NJ mother now faces charges stemming from newborn's 2019 death

A 30-year-old woman has been arrested and charged in connection with the beating death of one of her newborn twins three years ago, according to Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella.

Raeshonn Corbo, of Teaneck, now has been charged with aggravated manslaughter, aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child, after a Bergen County Grand Jury found that she was also responsible for the deadly assault on her own son.

On Oct. 31, 2019, the twins’ father, Jonathan Melendez, of New York, was charged with aggravated manslaughter, when one of the then-7-week-old babies died of his injuries.

On her personal Facebook page, Corbo shared a photo of the newborn twins in September 2019 announcing their arrival.

Weeks later, she then rushed the siblings to the emergency room at Hackensack University Medical Center after one of them had passed out.

The hospital then called law enforcement after finding that the babies had suffered broken bones and serious head injuries.

Melendez was arrested on Oct. 25, 2019, and faced initial charges before the newborn boy died.

Corbo, who is unemployed, was being held in Bergen County Jail, pending her first court appearance in Hackensack.

What would happen to NJ if we were attacked by nuclear weapons?

We used NUKEMAP by Alex Wellerstein to see what would happen if a nuclear warhead hit New York, Philadelphia, Washington or New Jersey.

The models show what would happen in aerial detonation, meaning the bomb would be set off in the sky, causing considerable damage to structures and people below; or what would happen in a ground detonation, which would have the alarming result of nuclear fallout. The models do not take into account the number of casualties that would result from fallout.
