Teen Tried To Flush Newborn Down Toilet

Junior High Student Gave Birth In School Restroom Then Killed Her Newborn Son

(AP)  A 14-year-old girl gave birth in a restroom at her junior high, and the baby boy cried once before she tried to flush him down the toilet, killing him, officials said Thursday.

An autopsy confirmed the baby was alive when born Wednesday 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, said police Lt. Eric Freed.

The mother was taken to a hospital. People who knew her at school said she wore baggy clothing, and nobody suspected she was pregnant, The Houston Chronicle reported Thursday.

School officials learned of her pregnancy when another student who was in the restroom while the eighth-grader was in labor went to ask the school nurse for help, said Kathy Clausen, spokeswoman for Baytown's Goose Creek school district.

The nurse and an assistant principal ran to the bathroom, discovered the girl had given birth and called 911.

Authorities have not announced what charges the girl will face, if any. Killing an infant is a capital crime in Texas, but 14-year-olds are too young to be eligible for the death penalty, said Geoffrey Corn, an assistant professor at South Texas College of Law.

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.

Baytown is about 25 miles east of Houston.

Wow. Guess what happens when you have abstinence only ***-ed, or even better, no *** ed? Anyone else notice they came from G.W.''s home state of Texas (YES, this is HIS fault TOO)? Babies killing babies, that''s what you get...

[magoo2u1]

You must be insane!!! All you have to do to prevent pregnancy, AIDS, crime and all social ills is P R A Y harder. Put your left wing liberal faith in the far right religious right and submit to the will of the almighty (dollar) and be saved.
And , uh, just say NO! Besides, a pregnant 14 year old must be a witch.

[michellem99-2009]

Lady..Pray..We have sep of church and state..she is not a witch..she is a child. The sad thing could she have gone to an adult that could have helpped her. The girl''s parents..SOME GIRLS ARE RAPED IN THEIR OWN HOME. Sure the girl was scared. What is needed is education and not churchy stuff. Christian girls need proper education. Praying won''t stop it. This will. No body has a right to touch any part of the body I don''t want touched in any manner. Paws off.

[termtex01]

I wonder if she is a Katrina resettled individual. Sounds like something that would happen in Louisiana.

[grammawhamma]

This is what happens when $ex becomes a taboo subject and parents reject $ex education in school. Kids need to be realisticaly educated about $ex starting at age 12. Abstinence "only" works for "only" a few!

Great post.
Texas is part of the south with sooo much religion.
Lots of every kind of religion including baptist, catholic, methodist, you name it.
They pride themselves on being religious.
Religion, politics, and money go together.
Too bad for the girl, but the school system is set up
to NOT teach anything on *** education other than abstaining.

[fibonacci_]

Part of it is also the result of a prudish, idiotic Christian-Republican mindset of only teaching abstinence and nothing about using protection. *** I wish these people would grow a brain - they are all of mediocre or low intelligence. People will have s*e*x (funny I have to type that like that - dumb-*ss prudish Americans).

[yeahsure69]

Abstinence only ? the girl was obviously an idiot if she got knocked up by having *** at 14. It was only a matter of time before she did something stupid like this. The ones with a wit of common sense would have never been in her predictament. Do not excuse the 14 year old her and do not excuse the boy who got her pregnant. He as well should be held responsible.

[fibonacci_]

My point is is that people are going to engage in the boingo-boogie-woogie no matter what you teach them. This is human nature, something that the "we will be greeted as liberators" Republicans tend to have a very hard time understanding.

[rushlimpdrug]

anyone that makes this a democrat/republican issue needs some serious help

My question is this: was she to young to know what she was doing when she killed her defenseless baby??? This should be the determining factor of her punishment not her biological age!!!

[lambofgoth]

I bet this girl got an A in her abstinence education class too.

[fibonacci_]

jamesm12341, you must be a Christian Republican. I will help you: Republicans and Democrats have a tendency to take a very different stance on *** education, which could have made a difference here.

[kmdt2]

I cannot beleive what i am reading here! Poor girl
she must be confused !! Are you all insane? Texans'' are religious, PLEASE ! Then she would know what she did was a huge sin. Where was your prayers when she was flushing a baby? Prayers wont help and obviously neither did GOD. Why do we spend so much time making excuses for our children instead of punishing them? She obviously knew that by trying to flush her child it would die, that makes her aware enough to be punished as an adult. If she wants to have unproteced *** and act like an adult then she should fry as an adult would. Come to you senses people hold her accountable. Think about the life she took. What happened to finding an adoption agency, or talking to someone you can trust to help you avoid murder. I hope this haunts her and her family for the rest of their lives ! Parents talk to your kids assure them they can talk to you about anything. They must know they have other options, tell them the flushing a baby is not one of them !

[ksjeff-2009]

Something is seriously wrong in Texas.

[lambofgoth]

fibonacci not all Americans are prudish and dumb - only the ones who voted for Bush and think abstinence education is the only way to go.

[fibonacci_]

I do agree with you, lambofgoth. Just wish there were not SO MANY of them...they deserve all the mockery they have coming - they are causing us big, big problems.

Over 90% of women seeking abortions are religious.
The fact is the little girl was having unprotected ssex.
Her TOTAL shame was she got pregnant.
Not being educated properly about ssex exponentially increased the seriousness.
Being a CHILD she acted like a CHILD not an adult.
She tried to HIDE her problem.
Children do STUPID things.

Can YOU grow up now?

RUSHLIMPDRUG _-- I DONT THINK THE POINT OF THIS WAS FOR YOU TO READ EVERYONE''S OPINIONS AND DISAGREE WITH THEM ALL. WHO SHOULD GROW UP?????????

BESIDES .................
ARE YOU SERIOUS? DID YOU EVEN READ THE ARTICLE.
HER TOTAL SHAME IS NOT THAT SHE GOT PREGNANT IT''S MUCH WORSE THEN THAT, SHE KILLED A CHILD. NEED I SAY MORE? A FIVE YEAR OLD DOES STUPID THINGS CAUSE HE OR SHE IS TOO YOUNG TO KNOW BETTER. I WOULD NOT CATAGORIZE A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD IN THE SAME MANNER.
YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM MAKING EXCUSES FOR HER.
CAUSE AND EFFECT IS THAT IF YOU HAVE A BABY AND YOU TRY TO FLUSH IT, IT WILL SURELY DIE. DONT THINK YOU NEED MUCH EDUCATION TO FIGURE THAT ONE OUT.

[djberson]

Who cares, it was just a baby.

[fibonacci_]

Girl must have been pretty fat if no-one knew she was preggy.

[dogsoul]

Ha! Why IS it that back BEFORE America ever CONSIDERED having *** ed in class - opting instead to harshly frown upon teen *** - back before liberals held up single mothers as heroes - back before liberals made mass murder by way of abortion legal - back before all your supposed ''enlightenment'' - teen pregnancy was way WAY lower than it is today?

And as to the 90% of women who have abortions are religious...

90% of PEOPLE adhere to some kind of religious belief you nimrod.... typical liberal spin

You two belong togeda''.
Both uf ewe is stupid.
A child has a child and ya wanna punish
da furst child by killin'' her.
Sure, do it.
That''ll teach da restof''em to abstain.

Only Texas can kill more Americans than the taliban.

[cattlekate]

Earlier reports in the Houston Chronicle stated the girl had "medical issues."

She could have been retarded, and was, obviously overweight, and could have hid the pregnancy from her parents.

It is so sad.

I wonder how long before this thread is turned into an abortion debate?

[kmdt2]

1st good job DOGSOUL!
2nd to rushlimpdrug-------- learn how to spell!
and stop re-writing what i say in you opinion column.
I have every right to post my opinion as you do all the personal attacking just shows me and all the readers that you are the one who is uneducated.

[dogsoul]

"Only Texas can kill more Americans than the taliban."

Funny how liberals label the murdering, raping, cold blooded animals sitting on death row in Texas simply as ''Americans'' while unborn children are merely clumps of innocuous cells and American soldiers are called ''occupiers'' while terrorists who want to kill Americans everywhere are called freedom fighters, insurgents, or ''Iraqi Civilians'' - Christians are called radical right nut jobs while Muslims are to be respected & admired...

Liberals - traitors to our nation, enemies of Christ

excuse it anyway you want.

they still kill babies
It is still fact.
Incidentally, if you have bought anything made in china in the past you support abortion and COMMINISM.
Did your church tell you not to do that?

I agree with you. Kids DO need to be better educated about sIx and that it is a normal thing to do. It''s how the human animal survive, by reproducing.

Edumakation has nothing to do with it.
The girl was in skool.
Many edumakated folks are in prizon.
Da lady dat ran over her hubby in Houston was a dentist for won.

I see a few little tiny Christian brains here.

Rush
you are certainly a walking contradiction,
EDUCATION has nothing to do with it? why dont you re-read what you wrote to me earlier.
Education has everything to do with it.

[jjarden]

Ther MUST be severe Consequences and Punishment for this behavior. The country cannot allow girls to do this...even if they are only 14. She needs a harsh prison term, and the message needs to be sent to others that you just can;t do it, and that there are alternatives, such as adoption. But of course, our joke of "justice" system will do nothing to this girl...becuase she is just a "baby" herself in the eyes of the bleeding heart liberals, and therefore, the murders will continue.

[rushlimpdrug]

. . you are the one who is uneducated.
Posted by kmdt2 at 09:31 AM


Gee, I thought I read that you were referring to my lack of education. Guess I had it wrong.
The girl was in school, but she did not recieve proper education on ssex, its consequences, or options.
Neither did the dentist.
But I would bet LOTS of money that they know about
"go forth and multiply"
and that thing about adultery.

sometimes I misspell or miss words. Sorry, it''s cause I don''t proofread.
I''ll hire a proofreader as soon as I give up doughnuts.
mmmmmmmm doughnuts . . . . .

And you would flip the swith on her azzz?

You win the religious brainwash award.

Sometime back there was an article stating
married women with HUSBANDS and CHILDREN
have more abortions than ALL other females.
Guess you''d flip the switch on these
children also.

Go with God, my son.

"Please state the order in which you would start

I''m not advocating ''killing'' the enemies of Christ - that''s something your radical Islamic allies advocate... And it''s radical Islamics & their liberal allies who want to destroy Israel - heck, even liberal American Jews seem to tacitly condone an anti-Israel agenda.... not the Republicans - but I AM certainly in favor of exposing them for the scum that they are - you DID, however, forget to add liberals to your list - but to answer your question:

1. ALL child molesters - priests, boy scout leaders, teachers, camp counselors, etc...
2. radical muslims & their American Liberal allies
3. Communists/Socialists/liberals
4. Abortion supporters/liberals
5. atheists/anti Christians/liberals

so for the sake of simplicity - let''s just wrap it up & say I''m all for exposing liberals for what they truly are - Godless traitors

[jetlizhan]
