(April 1, 2008)—A 14-year-old Houston-area girl gave birth to a full-term baby Wednesday at school, police say.

The girl then allegedly attempted to flush the newborn down a toilet in a school restroom.

Students told police they heard the baby crying.

The infant was found dead, authorities said.

Police are treating the case as a homicide.

It happened at Cedar Bayou Junior High in Baytown.

Other details weren’t immediately available.

Police are investigating.

It happened just three days after another 14-year-old Houston-area girl gave birth to a stillborn infant in the restroom of a Continental Airlines plane on a flight back to Texas after a school field trip.

Police said Wednesday no charges will be filed against the teenager who told investigators she didn’t know she was pregnant.
