Authorities in Texas say a baby born to a 14-year-old girl in a school bathroom was alive before she tried to flush it down the toilet, killing him.Advertisement



Police say an autopsy confirms the infant was born alive at Cedar Bayou Junior High in Baytown, near Houston. The boy was probably full term and cried before the mother, an eighth-grader, tried to flush him.

The girl was taken to a hospital. The Houston Chronicle reports people who knew her at school say she wore baggy clothing, and nobody suspected she was pregnant.

Authorities have not said whether the girl will be charged or with what. Killing an infant is a capital crime in Texas, but 14-year-olds are too young to be eligible for the death penalty.

The infant died just three days after another 14-year-old girl delivered a stillborn fetus in the bathroom of an airplane on her way back to Houston from a middle-school field trip.

Saw that earlier.. that's just sick.

I hope they find a way to charge that girl.

Didn't click the link, but I read in another article that the baby cried atleast once.

that's taking "water boarding" to far. Punishment should be to flush mom down the toilet

Why would a 14 year old in Texas do that when they have the right to have an abortion privately?

Oh yeah... never mind.

Yeah. Cost money. How many crushed beer cans does her Pappy have to collect from around the trailer park to pay for it?

im drinking and this is a buzzkill. So disheartening. The baby never had a chance to do all the things in life we we able to do. So tragic.
