MONCTON – A New Brunswick woman who was charged after her newborn son’s body was found in a snowbank six years ago has pleaded guilty to three charges.
The boy’s remains were found on a remote logging road near Monteagle, N.B., in April 2009.
The child became known as Baby Taylor in the weeks after his body was discovered based on the name of the road where he was found.

Christine Margaret Wood had been charged last year with attempted murder, offering an indignity to human remains and concealing the body of a child.
But in Moncton Provincial Court on Wednesday, the attempted murder charge was amended and replaced with a charge of failing to make provisions for reasonable assistance in respect to her delivery of the child.
Wood was in court Wednesday and released until her sentencing. She will be sentenced on Oct. 9.
