Thumbs down Baytown Texas 14-Year-Old Girl Kills Newborn

A 14-year-old girl has been arrested and charged with murder after she allegedly killed her newborn baby in a school bathroom.

Baytown, Texas, police said the eighth-grade student submerged the 7 pound infant in a Cedar Bayou Junior School toilet and jammed toilet paper down his throat so he wouldn't cry, the Houston Chronicle reported.

Police have been investigating the incident since the baby was found April 2.

The baby also suffered blunt trauma to his head and neck, according to a Harris County autopsy.

Gerald Yoakum, the girl's attorney, claims she wasn't aware that the baby was in the toilet because she was bleeding profusely. The teenager who claims not to have known she was pregnant wore loose clothing to hide her growing belly.

"Please remember that this is a 14-year-old child who has experienced a tragic event," he wrote in a statement.

Yoakum said he plans to work with authorities to ensure "only the facts, not opinons and speculations, will control this case."

Her attorney said the teenager is mourning her baby's death and saw him for the first time at his June funeral. The girl named the 7-pound, 16-inch baby "Johnny."

Prior to the baby's delivery, she visited the nurse's office and complained of painful menstrual cramps. The nurse gave her a heating pad and told her to lie down for a few hours before she returned to class. The teenager then went to the bathroom where she delivered the baby.

When medical help arrived, they took the student to the hospital, and the newborn was pronounced dead. Medical examiners said the death was not accidental and ruled it a homicide, the Chronicle reports.

Authorities say "Johnny" cried at least one time before the 14-year-old girl attempted to flush him down the toilet.

Inconceivable not to know on the account of heavy bleeding. After giving birth to my daughter and witnessing the birth of two grandchildren, I did not see profuse bleeding.

Besides and mother giving birth can feel the baby being born.

Get real! She or any woman claims they didn't know they were pregnant isn't playing with a full deck. And certainly her parents, or the mother or father should have known their daughter with child.

The 14-year-old went through a very sad event, her attorney and everybody else quit making excuses for her, and she's grief-stricken possibly because she has been arrested and charged for her baby's murder.

News flash! Birth pains don't feel like menstrual cramps. Likewise for pain when a woman goes through a miscarriage. Been there done that.

Oh by the way, the story mentioned she wore lose clothing in order to hide her pregnancy. Didn't the nurse have a clue the girl was expecting? Yet the nurse gave the girl a heating pad and lay down for a while.

Anyway something smells fishy in Denmark.

This girl deserves to be treated as an adult for this one. She knew she was pregnant, did all she could to hide it, and when the baby was born she decided to flush it down the toilet.

Putting toilet paper in the baby's mouth is a giveaway that she wanted this baby dead.

Pure, unadulterated, evil. That's this "scared little girl".

Evil indeed. She meant to murder the baby, and he was strong enough to try to hold on to the life he'd just begun outside the womb.

Poor baby; another victim, which just means another human being to ignore.

Amazing how getting caught brings out the grief. This girl should be (but probably won't) be treated as an adult for this very adult crime (went so far as to cram toilet paper down her baby's throat).

Where were her parents?
