(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.

that girl needs to get charged to the fullest for what she has done. she could called for help and if she didn't want her child theres always adoption

i felt quite bad about this..There should be no sex before wedding.

How do you not know you are pregnant? I can't believe that are not going to press charges, she tried to flush the baby. All she had to do was go and get someone. It is sad what the world has come to.

Posted by: Shocking To Me Location: Killeen on Apr 10, 2008 at 04:17 PM
I had not heard this story but now that I have I do not believe any child could give birth without making a sound.I think the pain would have brought out screams and someone would have checked on the noise .What happened to the girls who heard the baby cry?Did they not report it to anyone?How about some charges for them too?Failure to render aid or something.I did not see any info. on the size of the child.Was it really full term?or a miscarrage?perhaps several months along but not all the way to term.Well anyway God will look after the baby no matter what happens here for the girl.I hope she gets lots of counseling in the juvi facility where I hope she goes.The law is to liberal to sterilize her most likely but that is what she needs because no one would wash a baby in a toilet no matter what your age.

Posted by: Kay Location: Killeen on Apr 10, 2008 at 10:21 AM
I know everyone is down on the girl not knowing she was PG. With my first child I gained no weight, had a period every month, no morning sickness or anything that looked like I was PG. The Dr found out when he did a PG test on me so that I could get birth control pills. Just saying, she might not have known but once she delivered she KNEW!! That is when she screwed herself. Then she murdered the child and should be held accountable.

HAHAHAHA, Wonder how old Anonymous 11:07 is? That was a real good come back. I think its stupid when kids have kids because WE the working class have to pay for this while they sit at home or quit school and there momma's raise the kids because the DADDY of the baby has already moved on and dating someone else. Here in our school's they already have built in daycares for these kids to drop there kids off and go to class. Might as well let them "DO IT" in the hallway since they are half way there. Makes no sense and I have aready told my 14 year old daughter you have a kid it will be going to school with you in your backpack and you can feed it in class because I wont be the one to take care of it. Plus her father would kill her so hopefully she is scared silly to do anything yet.

Parent of Boys, I personally appreciate you. I think that so much is said about girls and the parents and not that anyone is innocent but how much better would it be for a male to take a daily pill or get the shot until they are ready. I think that that is a great idea!!! As far as Lisa Jay is concerned, shame on you!!! Why would you think sometihng like this would be remotly funny?? And whether I can spell or properly use a computer to its fullest potential I know the differnce between right and wrong AND serious vs. a joke... I will have to give a big THANKS to my mom and dad for making me aware of the realities of life and wanting more for myself than just beinga statistic. Do not get me wrong, trust you me, it is very easy to get wrapped up in "lust & sex" you just have to be smarter than what is cool and what is happening at the momment!!!

no reasonable person whould even wash off thier dirty socks in a toilet, samantha,you need to be held back a few years, you not quite ready for the drive thru at mcdonalds yet.

Posted by: Mary Location: VM on Apr 4, 2008 at 01:12 AM
So Samantha, you claim she tried to 'wash' it off ( "it" was a baby, that she KILLED ! )... IN THE TOILET ??? How, by flushing it several times ?? Sheeesh... you're kidding, right ? You wash things off in a sink, not the toilet. Try a different story for all of these parents here who have children and live in the real world. This is a shame....

Posted by: Anonymous Location: TX on Apr 3, 2008 at 11:01 PM
Mel, get it right. The part you say was about her not getting charges. Wrong. They are treating it as a homicide. I am gonna break it down kindergarten style for everyone. A girl three days before gave birth to a stillborn fetus on a plane. THEN the girl gave birth at school and killed the kid. Accident or not. Probably not. (if she wanted to wash it, why didn't she use the sink??????) Anyways, they are treating the girl from the school as a homicide. How frickin hard was that? Dang, come on people. And for the high school students now days. Take a sex ed class, go visit some aids patients, someone with HPV who got cancer from it. Look up herpes and see what you could get. It is not a frickin game. Stay abstinent. Having babies is not a game or something you can take back. Enjoy your life, go to college, get a job, get married then do grown folk things. Parents, pay more attention to your kids. Have family night, talk to them, get involved in their school. WAKE UP!

Posted by: CW Location: Killeen on Apr 3, 2008 at 10:48 PM
This very sad, many people would have loved to have this baby. And the little girl who tried to comment on this "Samantha" You need to grow up little one, what normal person would try to "wash" a baby in a friggin toilet for goodness sakes. You need to worry about yourself not this girl and not have babies because apparently you think its ok to "wash" them in toilets?! Who raises these kids? All the innocent lives we loose each day because these kids wern't raised right is not ok. I can only say I will try my hardest to teach my children right from wrong and be open with them. I hope this little girl gets some reprimand it's just not something that should be ignored, she is old enough to have a baby and kill it she needs to deal with the consequences.

Posted by: Janice Location: Waco on Apr 3, 2008 at 09:00 PM
Yeah, right! She just tried to wash it off? Well, she did a good job... don't you think so?

Samantha learn how to spell it is not schhol. but i guess my tax money will take care of the baby. some people in houston are just sorry.

Posted by: Mel Location: Waco on Apr 3, 2008 at 07:50 PM
For those of you who keep saying that everyone is confusing the two articles. Read the last sentence in this article. It clearly states that no charges will be filed and that the girl said she didn't know she was pregnant.

Posted by: Samantha Location: Mathews on Apr 3, 2008 at 05:32 PM
Okay i go to this school. So every news person needs to be quiet and leave us alone okay.This is a schhol! leave us alone. she didnt drown it, she tried to wash it off! And the daddy goes to the school with us.

Posted by: K Location: Harker Heights on Apr 3, 2008 at 05:22 PM
First this is such a sad story. I feel sorry for the innocent baby who was killed. Second it's the girl on the plane who claims not to have known not this girl. Third for all the parents out there that think their child won't have sex. Think again. Abstinence is what we hope for but almost never happens. Teach them responsibility and make yourself available to them no matter what they do. I once was that teenage pregnant girl. I've raised mine and yes I was too young but I did it. It sickens me when things like this happen. There are too many ppl willing to take a child and care for it. It also sickens me because for those of us who made a "mistake" as most ppl call it, stories like these make it harder for the ones trying to do the right thing because ppl automatically think the worst. And I put mistake in quotations because my daughter was never and will never be a mistake. I should have waited for sex but I have a wonderful daughter and no regrets. Some of us do do the right thing.

Posted by: Patriot Location: Tx on Apr 3, 2008 at 05:12 PM
I commented on this earlier. In Houston, parents seem to just not care. I didn't however mention the race ratio of the pregnant teens that my 2 family member teachers there that try their hardest to educate these students. It's Houston and one can figure that out.

Posted by: parent of boys Location: mexia on Apr 3, 2008 at 04:57 PM
I think someone should invent a birth controll for boys. Its not all the girls fault. I have teenage boys and you cant stop them from having sex but you can teach them to protect themselves.

Can you imagine giving birth at 14 to a full term baby in a bathroom? I took everything the doctor offered for pain and it still was no picnic.

Posted by: Anonymous Location: Copperas cove Texas on Apr 3, 2008 at 01:57 PM
Why do little girls and boys think its so cool to have sex when its not. What are you parents teaching these young kids these days. And the little girl who tryed to flush the baby down the toilet you should be feeling gulity right about now cuz you no that the baby wasn't going down the drain. If you didn't want the child you should have gave it to someone who can take the baby off your hands and why would you have "SEX" any way your just a child your shelf so now your life is not the same any more cuz you have to live with the GUILT.

Posted by: Seabreezes Location: Mountains on Apr 3, 2008 at 01:23 PM
So, by show of hands, how many of you hyper-religious folks still believe abstinence-only sex ed works?? Yeah, I didn't think so. We don't teach the youngsters anything, this is what happens. Send the kid to jail for murder, and go on to the next ignorant product of U.S. public schools.

Posted by: 606 Location: Waco on Apr 3, 2008 at 12:32 PM
I have had 2 children and had always felt the baby kick and move around. You are fat on the outside, not on the inside. You should feel everything. If I was 11 and just thought all of this movement was a bad case of gas, I think I would have to see the Doctor about it!!!

Posted by: ladytexan Location: waco on Apr 3, 2008 at 11:55 AM
I agree with Gloria. How is it you can know how to have sex but not know when you are pregnant? My daughter is 14 and believe me I KNOW what she does because she is VERY limitied in what she gets to do. Now a days you have to be. Her best friend/sister was Whitney that got shot and killed by her boyfrined at 13 years old here in Waco in January and SHE should have not been over there at that time of night and she would still be with us. You HAVE to be strict on your kids now a days and I am a single mother so it worries me more. Yes the boy should have some fault in it also but maybe she never told him so he had no say. God Bless them all!

sex with an 11 year old 295 pound girl that didnt know she was pregnant? i swear this is jerry material.

Posted by: Lauren Location: Coolidge on Apr 3, 2008 at 11:05 AM
it would have been so easy to give that innoocent child up for adoption instead of murdering it? I mean how low can you go their are some many people that cannot have children and then this happens? What was the girl thinking?

Posted by: Lisa Jay Location: Killeen on Apr 3, 2008 at 11:02 AM
Like I said at 295lbs i did not i was pregnant, know I am now 25 at 365lbs and i think my sun is the best thing thats ever happend to me although i did not volenteer to have him or to get pregnant it was a horrible situation and i dont regret any bit of it or nor do i hate anyone for it.

Posted by: Gloria Location: Waco Tx on Apr 3, 2008 at 10:53 AM
give me a BREAK!!! How is it she knew how to have sex? This is one of the consecuences of having sex. There is a possibility you will become pregnant. Where are the parents? I do not believe for one second a person can be so naive. At this age these girls should be playing with dolls not boys. She should be charged with murder or better yet she should not be allowed to bring children into this world.

Posted by: D Location: H.H on Apr 3, 2008 at 10:10 AM
Ok i commenting on the 11 yr old and 295lbs. First of all Do you realize just because you were 11 and 295lbs, and you saying you didnt know you were pregnant. but i sure you knew you had sex when you should have been keeping your legs closed. I'm sure your not caring for this baby alone your mom now has to care for him. A burden you brought on her because of your thinking. Your a immature child who thinks we all believe that you didnt know you were pregnant. When you knew for a fact you were having unprotected sex, Sex for the matter at 11. what were you thinking it wouldnt happen to you. Hopefully for that child sake you gave him up to Adults that would care for him and give him a life that he would deserve. Instead of having a child for a mother. But we all know he's a doll to you. I feel more for your parents the shame you have brought them. and the burden you have placed on them a child raising a child never works. ask CPS they'll tell you. So smarten up give your son a rightful hm.

Posted by: Joy Location: Lampasas on Apr 3, 2008 at 09:56 AM
How could no one recognize the fact that this child was pregnant? If not noticing the weight gain then surely they would notice that she was acting strangely, I'm sure she was more than a little frightened about what was happening to her. I agree she should be held accountable for her actions. There is no excuse for what she did! There are so many good families out there that are desperate to have a child, I just don't understand where is the justice? I also think that the guy that got her pregnant should be held responsible as well. Children are growing up too fast and parents and teachers need to start paying closer attention.

Posted by: Lauren Location: Coolidge on Apr 3, 2008 at 09:39 AM
do parents teach their kids anything these days sex at 14 way too young and if the girl did not want the baby she should have given it to someone that did!

Posted by: Lauren Location: Coolidge on Apr 3, 2008 at 09:26 AM
she said she did not know she was pregnant and they believed her how can she not know especially when she was sexually active?

Posted by: Brooke Location: Abilene Texas on Apr 3, 2008 at 08:33 AM
I think the girl is so stupid. If she thinks she is old enough to get pregnant, then I think she should be charged for killing the poor baby at her school in the bathroom. That is so bad, I hope that she gets in serious trouble with the law, not only now if she is a Christian she needs to ask for forgiveness. Killin is a SIN no matter what the PROBLEM is...and I think this girl needs alot of help. love ya and my prayers are with you cause I know that is all I can do!!

Posted by: PM Location: Gatesville on Apr 3, 2008 at 08:31 AM
Whether or not she knew she was pregnant is completely irrevelant. She still tried to flush it down the toilet. And it was definitely alive if other kids heard it crying. I hope she is certified as an adult, because she does not deserve a slap on the wrist that most juveniles get. And I agree with "Just Me". Whomever got her pregnant committed Aggravated Sexual Assault on a Child, just because of her age.

Posted by: Anita Location: Temple on Apr 3, 2008 at 08:22 AM
Pregnant at 11 & 295 lbs???? At a loss of words here!

Posted by: Patriot Location: Tx on Apr 3, 2008 at 07:46 AM
Young teenage pregnancy rate is very high in Houston. I have 2 family members that are teachers in Houston area public schools. With the influx of people moving into that area, it's only getting worse. Parents are not involved in their kids lives for whatever reason. Young girls living with older b/fs, older brothers, sisters, friends, the list goes on and on. And same for boys too (no parents around). In one class my niece is currently teaching, every girl but 1 is pregnant. The stories of two 14 yr. olds is tragic, but it makes one wonder how many more innocent lives have been destroyed that didn't make the news.........

Posted by: just me Location: Waco on Apr 3, 2008 at 07:45 AM
I can believe that a woman can be pregnant and not know it. My own niece was in her 20's and did not have any signs of being pregnant (no missed period or anything). The only thing she did was gain a few pounds (which you can do NOT being pregnant). She finally went to the Dr per her mom's request and found out she was due in 6 weeks....she had the baby in 4. So YES, it CAN happen. It is a sad situation that happened with these young girls, but NEVER be too quick to judge and NEVER say......it can't or won't happen to me!!!!!!

Teenage girls, Good example of why some animals eat their young.

Posted by: Just Me Location: Texas on Apr 2, 2008 at 10:52 PM
As quoted from Angel: "What is wrong with kids these days? Something needs to be done and they need to be held accountable for their actions." Yes, the children should be held accountable. However, at 14 years old - they are more their parents responsibility. Their PARENTS need to be held accountable. I live on one of the many military bases in Texas, and I see kids running around unattended ALL the time and I sit and wonder, "Where are their parents?" Am I a perfect parent? No, not all. But I promise - I ALWAYS know where my kids are and what they are doing. It is my job, and all these other parents of 13, 14, 15 year old kids need to do the same thing! By the way --- everyone is persecuting the girl and her parents and what they did or didn't do ... what about the BOY who got her pregnant?? Shouldn't he be held responsible too? What about HIS parents????

Posted by: Mom Location: East Texas on Apr 2, 2008 at 10:40 PM
Some are getting two stories mixed up, the girl on the airline said she didn't know she was pregnant and gave birth to a stillborn, but it was never told if she was full term or not. This girl gave birth to a live full term baby and tried to flush it.

Posted by: SF Location: Temple on Apr 2, 2008 at 10:22 PM
This story is worded poorly and is confusing if you don't read carefully. The girl who gave birth to a stillborn infant on the plane is the one that said she didn't know that she was pregnant and will not have charges filed against her. This case is being treated as a homicide, as it should be. I sincerely hope that this girl faces some very serious consequences. I cannot imagine that complete lack of caring and maternal instinct that would allow a new mother to cold-heartedly murder her brand new baby.

Posted by: HB Location: Central Tx on Apr 2, 2008 at 09:55 PM
Everyone needs to hold back on judging. There may have been some extenuating circumstances. Having worked with troubled youth for several years, I have witnessed some horrible things. For example, a 15yr old girl, raped by her stepfather and ended up pregnant. Due to the trauma of the rape, she lived in denial of that pregnancy. She went full term with only gaining 15lbs and it was difficult for anyone outside of the situation to be able to tell that she was pregnant. Unfortunately, neither one survived when she went into labor in a field near her home. Pray for these girls because that's what they really need when there isn't anything or anyone else left.

Posted by: B Location: Waco on Apr 2, 2008 at 09:35 PM
Why are kids these ages having sex? Does Sex Ed not take place in school anymore? Although having said that, it is the parents responsibility to teach their kids. What concerns me most is why this child didn't tell someone what was happening. Why would someone think murdering the baby is the answer? And to the 11 year old who had a son - I don't think you are in any position to be calling other people ignorant. You are a child yourself. Your job at this stage in your life is to go to school, get good grades and hang out with your friends and family - not have sex!

Posted by: rob rob Location: waco on Apr 2, 2008 at 09:34 PM
I posted this on the other story about the 14 year old girl who had her baby on the airplane, this is so tragic: How do you not know you are pregnant? I've never met a woman with a child, who did not know they were pregnant, even if they had a super easy pregnancy. This is such a shame. At 14, you understand the consequences of having sex. 1. They should not have had sex in the first place 2. Where were the parents of this girl?! Did they not explain how babies are made?!! Did they not pay enough attention to her to figure out she might be pregnant?! Parents should be very involved in a childs life!! This is a great example of why parents should engage more in their childs life, you aren't there to be their best friend, you are their to be their parent and look out for their well-being. I pray the baby died quickly, I hate to think it had to go through to much.

Ummm....I think,I hope, the pregnant 295-lb 11yo is demonstrating absurdity by being absurd.

Posted by: Mel on Apr 2, 2008 at 09:02 PM
I believe that she didn't know she was pregnant. That isn't what shocks me. How can there be no charges filed when she knew that she was trying to flush a live, crying baby down the toilet. But, I really shouldn't be shocked. Today's society looks at abortion as just a convient way to fix an irresponsible act; so it is just a natural progression for people to see no difference in killing a baby either inside or oustide the womb.

Posted by: Tammy Location: Copperas Cove on Apr 2, 2008 at 08:44 PM
OK let's do the math, haven't had a period for say 8 months, gained weight, breasts became tender at some point, had sex a while back, and possibly morning sickness, yep sounds like a pregnant person to me. Where is the parent who is supposed to be aware of what and where their child is?? I have 13 year old daughter and yes, I know who her friends are, where they hang out, and yes I even know how to track her online--- over protective- probably so, is she doing something she shouldn't be- NO. It's called parenting. Being responsible and teaching her to wait. The 14 year old who KILLED her child, yea it is easy for us to judge her. Maybe she was afraid to talk to her family, maybe she lived with her grandparents and didn't want to tell them but now an innocent child paid for her for lack of better word- ignorance. May the baby's spirit rest in peace with God.

Okay, I have a teenage daughter and i see her everyday...i know for a fact that her parents or anyone else that knew her saw a difference in her weight, this girl gave birth at full term there's know way she can say she did'nt know she was pregnant that is just her way of getting out of trouble...there's plenty of people who would love to adopt a child!

Murderer--she should be punished by law, simple as that. But first, tie her tubes!

This is sad to hear how could you not know your pregnant ..OMG i think young girls should be acountable for there actions even when it comes to having sex with boys and lying about there age and then the parents of the girl has the boy put in jail for rape and the boy has to pay for the rest of his life as a sex offender .. so not fair to the boy why dont they both have to pay ..its always the boys fault . where is the parents of theses girl why aren't they watching them closer .i could go on and on about this but i wont ..all i have to say is America wake up look at whats going on in the world we got young boys going to jail thats innocent and young girls getting to live a free life for something they had a hand in on also .girls just dont know what they are doing to the boys life .oh but they probable dont care .

Thats a shame that people can get away with saying that oh i didnt know. Its still murder to me. I guess all murders dont know so maybe they should get away with it too.

I wonder if anybody knew this one was pregnant?

NOW, you know this girl must have known she was pregnant she's not stupid and if she is then let me at her.If she's old enough to have sex she's old enough to get punished as an adult. And why didn't anyony here her or the baby . Did teachers not look for her did her parent know .... PARENTS TEACH YOUR DAUGHTERS TO RESPECT THEIR BODIES....PLEASE

what are we coming to when we have children having children. Where are the parents of these teenage girls and do tney not get any education and talking to by their Mothers and Fathers. Oh well we took god and prayers out of school so what can we expect.?????

What is wrong with kids these days? Something needs to be done and they need to be held accountable for their actions. If find it hard to believe that they didnt know they were pregnant.

WOW how crazy,I can't believe she didn’t know she was pregnant. poor thing and the new born child had to pay for it. very sad story

It just kills me that these young girls "think" they old enough to have sex but they can not hanlde the consequences that comes with it. Do not have sex if you can not handle the responsibilities that come along with it. If you do not want the responsibilty of caring for the baby you can give it up for adoption. There are millions of people that can not have children that would love and care for that child they way a child should be cared for. There is no reason to take the life of an innocent baby or child because you made a stupid choice!!!!!!!
