I heard that last night on the news! They said they could hear the baby crying.. HEARTLESS WITCH! I dont care what her excuse is there is NO EXCUSE for trying to flush a NEWBORN BABY AND CONTINUE TO DO IT WHILE THE BABY IS CRYING! Just makes me sick!

You would think that a baby crying at a Jr. High would get a lot of attention. This makes no sense to me.
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Here is what I read from another source
"We understand that the baby was alive when it was born and that the girl attempted to flush the child down the toilet. The child died as a result of these actions," said Lt. Eric Freed of the Baytown Police Department.
Another student who walked into the restroom heard the baby crying and ran to get the nurse and assistant principal. But by the time they arrived, officials said, it was too late.

I can hardly contain my anger over this story. A 14 year old girl should not have the opportunity to get pregnant regardless of the circumstances. I saw an 8th grade girl going to the junior/senior prom recently and the mother who was buying her dress seemed so proud that some junior had asked her to go, and she let her. I have 3 daughters and I can tell you that they are in to all of the normal teenage things including athletics. I know i make my share of parental mistakes but not one time before the age of 16 will they ever be alone with a guy, period! A 14 year old girl should not ever be with a guy by herself long enough for that to happen. Parents need to start being parents again and stop trying to be friends with their kids. I know I'm going to take grief over this but I DON"T CARE!! this is the 3rd story in 2 weeks i read where a 14 year old or kid or younger has given birth under some maniacal circumstance. Crazy!

I completely agree.. If they dont file charges on the girl they need to file charges on the parents...Originally posted by Silverback 04

Actually saying that made me think of a story I heard yesterday on the radio...
A group of like 11 3RD GRADERS plotted to KILL THEIR TEACHER because she told one of them to get off a chair. I will search around and see if I can find the entire story but I know their plot included a broken steak knife and duck type.

I think it's a very sad situation, both for the baby and the 14-year old.
