They are terrible stories today! Pixie - slow down a minute. This girl is 14 and this is her 2nd child. She was 13 (maybe 12) when she had her first. We need to look at HOW she is getting pregnant. I'm not excusing her, but I think we need to look at the root of the problem. I would think it is not her father because it says, in a round about way, that her father identified her. If it was his child too, I'm sure he would know that DNA would identify him so he wouldn't have turned her in. Okay - if that is a good assumption, then that's good.
But, is it an uncle or older brother? Is she being forced to have sex? Or does she have a 25-year old boyfriend?
At 14, while she can understand the difference between right and wrong, something has caused her to prefer to commit this horrendous act rather than own up to what was happening. It very well could be that she just likes to have sex and refuses to practice birth control. But at the young age of 14 and 2nd child, I'm willing to bet there is more to this story.
She is so young to have come to a point in her life where she thinks murder is preferrable to asking for help.
This is very, very sad! I'm glad she does not have the 1st child with her.

I know Pixie, I know. And I am not excusing her actions. She obviously knew what she was doing. However, I am concerned about what made her choose that action over asking someone for help. I am assuming that she had contact with CPS because she does not have her 1st child with her. I wonder why she was not also placed in a safe home where someone would supervise her . I am wondering what pushed her over the edge. She had one child. At her age and given a "somewhat normal" teenage attitude, I could see her thinking, "no big deal, just another kid the state will take" unless there was a reason she needed to hide the child. Maybe she hid the pregnancy and the baby only because her father told her not to get pregnant again. But maybe there is a much darker reason...... I can only speculate, but when a child is pregnant at 12/13 years of age, my hinky meter goes way off!

.......Who the hell cares about the best interest of this girl? She cannot control her herself sexually...

oh my God!!!
I have all sorts of problems with this story.
First of all INDENTIFY her! She is 14, yeah, but she can murder her child, hide the body (she drowned the baby in the toilet!! SICK!) then continue on to the Cinco de Mayo party!
I WANNA SEE A PICTURE OF THIS MONSTER! She should not be protected!
Secondly, this heifer is not in jail, she is in a secure location...hmmm, I hope it is secure enough so she can keep her legs closed so she cannot kill any more children.
Thirdly, she has another child!!!! SEE ABOVE #2! I pray she lost all ability to have children at this point. I pray she has serious problems and can no longer concieve.
So at 14 she has had 2 children and killed one and the other is not in her custody. By not being in her custody, I guess that means the baby is still alive and not floating in a dirty toilet at the fairgrounds.
But it is the last sentence in the article that gets me:
"We need to look at what's in the best interest of the juvenile," Casella said. "And then we must weigh that against the nature of the crime and the need for society to prosecute those responsible for such crimes."
Who the hell cares about the best interest of this girl? She cannot control her herself sexually, she cannot control herself to ger prenatal care and she cannot control herself when it is time to kill a baby. But she sure as hell had fun at the fiesta!
Put her away for the rest of her long long life or drown her in some nasty toilet.
Me. I care. I too was unable to control myself sexually at 13, 14...
This is a heartbreaking story. This child has given birth twice already. Something is very not right in her life. My prayers are with her and her family. Perhaps there is time for someone to save her from herself.
I hate that a newborn is dead, but wouldn't it be nice if someone could concentrate an ounce of energy on helping the surviving child into some sort of decent life. If that doesn't happen, I'm willing to bet that more will suffer at her hands.
