Oprah Winfrey’s school for girls in South Africa is being rocked by a fresh scandal as police investigate the body of a newborn found in one of the student’s bags, police said today.

The baby’s body was found last Wednesday in a bag the 17-year-old girl brought to a hospital where she was being treated for excessive bleeding, police Lt. Col. Lungelo Dlamini told ABC News in a statement.

It is believed that the girl, who has not been identified, gave birth at her school, the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls, which is located outside Johannesburg.

No charges have been filed against the girl and police will discuss the case with the Director for Public Prosecutions once the investigation has been finalized.

This is not the fault of Oprah Winfrey and for folks to say its rocking
Oprah’s world i would say “Not”! A girl got caught having a baby and
she tried to dispose of the little one’s body! She and her family are being
“rocked” by this tragedy!! Oprah is giving these young girls an opportunity
to succeed. You will have problems such as these along the way. Stop
blaming “OW”!!
