BAYTOWN, Texas - Police say a 14 year-old girl gave birth in a bathroom at her junior high school and then tried to flush the newborn down the toilet.
It happened Thursday, April 2, 2008, near Houston, Texas.
Police say the baby was born alive, but died when the mother tried several times to flush the child.
Students reported hearing the baby crying. Police are treating the case as a homicide.
Earlier this week a 14 year-old delivered a stillborn fetus in an airplane bathroom and left it in the trash on a flight to Houston. No charges were filed in that case.
