Just as the folks in Baytown, Texas about the alleged actions of a 14-year-old student at the town’s Cedar Bayou Junior High who allegedly murdered her newborn infant son immediately after birth, according to police reports. She allegedly killed her newborn son by stuffing toilet paper in her infant son’s throat after he had cried his first — and what would be his last — cries in life, according to police and media reports. After allegedly stuffing her newborn son’s mouth with toilet paper, the unidentified eight-grader then allegedly submerged her baby boy in the toilet, then flushed the toilet, drowning him, according to Baytown Police Lt. Eric Freed, who was quoted in several media outlets as saying.

The girl, who secretly gave birth in the junior high school bathroom, according to police reports, then, after the baby boy was born alive and cried, she allegedly killed her son in cold blood.
