Ruby Rose said she was falsely accused of being a "baby killer" as a teen when she found a fatally injured 4-year-old boy on a playground: "It was very traumatic." Ruby Rose was at the center of a police investigation more than 10 years before her breakout role on 'Orange Is the New Black.' The actress recalled facing "baby killer" accusations as a 15-year-old in her native Australia, where she and a childhood friend were smoking their first cigarette when they stumbled upon a badly injured boy on a playground. "I saw something on play equipment. I went, 'Oh!' I thought it was a doll hanging," she recounted on the Sept. 19 episode of Kaitlyn Bristowe's 'Off the Vine' podcast. "As we got close enough, we could tell this was a real baby human—like a 4½-year-old. There was blood coming out of his ears, nose and mouth. It was very traumatic." Rose, now 40, and her friend immediately sought help, with the 'Batwoman' alum picking up the boy and rushing him to a group of adults at a nearby house. While Rose initially thought the boy was going to recover, she later learned that his condition deteriorated and he ultimately died at the hospital because he "was brain dead for so long." And as she grappled with the "horrific" incident in the following days, Rose found herself being questioned by authorities. "The police turned up at my school," she remembered, adding that she started getting bullied by her classmates over the ordeal. "People were like, 'Baby killer!' I was just breaking down left, right and center."
