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.

Also...Forget any First Amenmdnent Right to free association and assembly. This girl will likely continue in school, and the government will **force**other children to her to "assemble" with her. Someone's kid will be sitting next to her.
Government schools, the First Amendment, and freed assembly are utterly incompatible. They are an abomination!
Just another late-term abortion, isn’t it B. Hussein?
Obama would approve of this girls actions.
Interesting that we never hear of home-schooled kids getting pregnant.
No words :(
It was the 7 lb. baby who experienced a real tragic event.
Too tragic for words.

Well, why should be punished with a baby?
Don’t worry. A USC college student who murdered two of her newborn innocent babies will be getting off with 30 days time served today.
Tragic.
What kind of relationship would a girl have to have with her parent/s to do such a thing?
“Please remember that this is a 14-year-old child who has experienced a tragic event,” he wrote in a statement.
Yeah, I know ... forget about the baby and his “tragic event”. Forget natural shock and disgust.
All I can say is wow. :-(
I have 4 kids, 3 girls and a boy.
I just counted my blessings.
What kind of relationship will she have with the other kids in the compulsory attendance “school”?
The government **will** force someone's kid to sit next to her.
Forget any First Amendment Right to free assembly! When it comes to government schools, the First Amendment doesn't exist~
Recall the home schooler whose boyfriend shot and killed his girlfriends family. The daughter and boyfriend lived but the daughters parents were dead. The parents didn't want the daughter to see the boy. The daughter was involved so it's not as though home schoolers don't have issues ... I believe this was n Pennsylvania. Homeschooling is not the answer that makes crime unthinkable.
Just wondering when the movie “Juno” gets blamed for this one....
I feel so sorry for this girl and her baby. If she had only known that she could have gone to any Firehouse or EMS station and given the baby to them, no questions asked. We need to teach teens this!!!!!!!!!!
Hey - we don’t want her to be “punished with a baby”, now - do we?
“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.”
How could this nurse not tell this girl was pregnant??????? DAMN!
Not quite as tragic as having her head smashed, mouth stuffed with toilet paper, and forcefully held underwater until she dies, kind of tragic.........
“Is this the socialization that homeschoolers are missing? ( Just wondering?)”
Yes. All public school children do this. Thankfully, you have chosen the only moral path for your kids, because like all publicly educated kids, they would turn out murderous if you didn’t.
There are no good kids in public school. None. It may well be that your kids are the only good ones on this earth, so feel good about that!
Pa-rental unit .............
Don’t forget about the Texas Mormons!
“Please remember that this is a 14-year-old child who has experienced a tragic event”
Yes of course. Murdering your child with your bare hands is quite tragic.
Dem’s will give her a medal... no cost to the abortion slaughter houses. What an animal...
And with so many good people / families longing for a baby...
Well what person would want her to be “punished” with a baby .....eh Obama?
“Not quite as tragic as having her head smashed, mouth stuffed with toilet paper, and forcefully held underwater until she dies, kind of tragic......... “
The girl was desperate. She was thinking: “My parents are going to be so angry that I had a baby, the are going to ground me Saturday night” Not knowing that is he grounded for the next 18 years!
This is why we need to teach teens about leaving babies at Firehouses and EMS stations. They don’t think correctly. She was worried about her parents yelling at her, and punishing her. She did not realize that no punishment they could give her was nothing in comparison to raising a baby for 18 years!!!!
I believe these are the
“the evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society” that Justice Kennedy referred to in the child rape case.
I have a friend who is a NURSE — great family, thought she was close to her 14 year old daughter — no secrets — she didn’t have any friends the mom didn’t know about — church going — nice girl, friendly, no “secretive” life that anyone knew about.
One morning my friend found a crying newborn all bloody on her doorstep wrapped in a towel that looked familiar. They called the police — she woke up her daughter who was sleeping. Police were suspicious — asked to speak to the daughter alone. Parents almost said no, but last minute said ok. Daughter breaks down — admits she gave birth on the bathroom floor the night before and panicked — becuase her mom did NOT know she was full term pregnant. Decided to put baby on doorstop to cover it up. Police asked how no one heard her giving birth — she said she “tried really hard not to scream”.
My friend — the mom and now grandma — said her duaghter didn’t even look like she had gained one single pound that year — was a NURSE — and had no clue. To this day she cannot imagine how her daughter could give birth on the bathroom floor of their home just several feet away from the parents’ master bedroom and she never heard one thing.
They fought and spent a ton of $$$, but the family ended up getting custody of that baby, and the girl went on to marry and raise the baby with the help of her parents. She has other children and a happy life. But it took that family HELPING her instead of just locking her up and throwing her and the baby away. She was on probation and did community service and was humiliated at school, and in the papers. But it worked out.
It happens...
The government will **force** someone's child to sit next to her. Yes, that is the socialization that someone's homeschooler will be missing.
Please remember, that government **force** means armed police with real bullets.
Just think about the “punishment” she’s going to live the rest of her life once her innate sense of right and wrong finally matures to the point that it convicts her conscience every day.
Looking at all the comments here.... I’m wondering too about the poor girl who must have found this baby in the toilet. She must be having nightmares every night. Poor thing.
Good point!
Can you imagine that? Wow!
You’re right about teens not thinking correctly.
But that is preciously why the sex education they get is so damaging. They spend their days in a secular humanist temple where nothing is wrong for most of their lives, and you think some short message of “if you get pregnant, go to the firehouse and leave your baby there” will make a dent in the 6 to 7 years of “there is no right or wrong” indoctrination?
No way. That way is insanity. It hasn’t worked and it won’t work because there is NO MORAL FOUNDATION. Period.
Thanks for the info.
Oh yeah.
“the evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society”
Standards of decency do not evolve.
Our society is not maturing in the sense of becoming more civilized and wise. We are becoming more brutal, coarse, barbaric and perverted. America of 100 years ago was MUCH more civilized.
Oh man! Well at least the girl was smart and kind enough to leave the baby where it would be found by someone who would care. Did they take that into consideration? I hope she did not get into any trouble. I can see she tried to help the baby.
There was a woman here locally who left her baby on the steps of a church because she could not care for it. She did not know about the Firehouse or EMS thing. They did not charge her for it because the Pastor of the church ask them not to, stating that she left it there to help the baby. The baby was fine, and found a home.
That’s what’s so ironic about that statement out of Kennedy -
our society is MUCH WORSE NOW from what he describes as “evolving standards”,
which, I’m sure, being a lib, he believes are BETTER now than ever before.
Just think about the “punishment” she’s going to live the rest of her life once her innate sense of right and wrong finally matures to the point that it convicts her conscience every day.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I know....and when Christ was on the cross he looked down and said: “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.”
Probably because their parents keep it hidden. Really, is this tragic story of a newborn life so callously snuffed out the time to bring up home schooling?
Agreed.
We have an ever-widening dichotomy in America. Civil War within the next 50 years would not surprise me.
Didn’t I read something like this about a month ago on Free Rep? I hope it’s the same story and not a new one. Stuff like this just makes me cry.
You probably meant to send this to #1, which was the comment I was directing my response to.
Wow. Who (and how old) was babydaddy? Somebody wasn’t paying as much attention as she thought.
Probably because their parents keep it hidden.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is how unwed motherhood should be treated.
The mom should be secluded. There should be a sense of profound shame and sorrow. The baby should be adopted and not aborted.
Forget the baby showers, the free day care at school, the school support groups, the nursing mother’s rooms at school, and the gangs of other girls cooing over the new baby....etc.
