Parents Are Subpoenaed

Published: August 8, 1997

Prosecutors have subpoenaed the parents of a Wyckoff teen-ager who is accused of killing her newborn son, The Associated Press reported, so that the prosecutors can compel them to disclose why their daughter hid her pregnancy.

In June, Sonye Grossberg said on the ABC television program ''20/20'' that her daughter, Amy, had told her parents why she kept her pregnancy a secret. But the mother declined to reveal the reason on the air. Amy Grossberg and her boyfriend, Brian C. Peterson Jr., both 19, are charged with killing their baby in November and leaving his body in a trash bin behind a motel in Newark, Del.
