14 Year Old Girl Gives Birth to Baby in a Bathroom

A meaning 14-twelvemonth-old girl secretly delivered her infant with a pair of scissors in the family unit bathroom before throttling the male child to death and hiding the torso in a shoe box.

Cassidy Goodison, 14, has been charged as an adult with kickoff caste murder after police learned how she killed her child following months of fearfully disguising her pregnancy from her mother and father.

Her harrowing case has shocked even experienced officers and graphically illustrates the problems of the 750,000 teenage Americans who fall pregnant every year.

Goodison went into labor in her home in Greenbrier Village, Florida on September 19 and instead of calling for help, disguised her screams of pain by running the tap and gripping a towel between her teeth equally she sat on the toilet.

After prising the 9.5lb boy grade her body with a pair of scissors, she felt for a pulse and and so strangled the boy to death and hid his corpse in a shoe box with dirty laundry.

Three days later, as Teresa Goodson cleaned her girl's room, a foul odour drew her attention to a pile of soiled, wet clothes in which she constitute the deceased infant subconscious in a box.

This is horrible and disgusting. Can't believe this actually goes on =/

If yous are genuinely disgusted, why draw it to the attending of other people who might also be disgusted???

EDIT: Your headline is also misleading - deliberately, I believe.

I don't think information technology's right that she was tried as an developed, she got meaning while still a child, it must have been traumatising for her. The fact that she hid her pregnancy from her parents shows that she was scared to tell them, her actions seem like those of someone desperate and non acting in their correct mind. I remember she needs psychological help and throwing her in jail for murder won't help her at all.

I also recall that commodity is using biased language, equally exampled by their use of the discussion 'devious' to describe her hiding her pregnancy.

Edit: I've as well requested a championship change for this thread, it's very misleading and some people may non want to read most someone killing their baby so you should annunciate how disturbing the content is.

Oh gosh
Your title was slightly misleading.

Then she wasn't arrested for secretly giving nascence in the bathroom.

Please modify the championship, it's stupid.

HAHAHA. I didn't think when I clicked this that it would plough out she was actually arrested for KILLING her newborn.

Misleading title

Well y'all believe wrong it was an accident.

We're discussing a 14 twelvemonth old girl. I can't imagine how traumatic her experience has been and I think this article is incredibly inconsiderate and thoughtless, calling the conspicuously disturbed and traumatised child an 'animal'. No, of course it'due south non correct that she strangled her infant, only there is no mode a 14 year sometime would be able to cope with something similar this on her ain, which is what she attempted to practice.

The real crime here is the criminal offence of her parents and social services for not noticing. At that place is no way she could have kept the pregnancy a hugger-mugger if she had good parents.

I just feel sad for her mum.

my tum just turns the incorrect way merely reading this

I think she needs psychological aid and throwing her in jail for murder won't help her at all.

I also retrieve that article is using biased linguistic communication, as exampled by their use of the word 'devious' to depict her hiding her pregnancy.

Ok and so she was desperate and needed assistance, just she all the same strangled her own newborn infant to expiry!

I agree. The article has a singular point of view and shown no understanding towards the mother.

I wonder if this would have been seen differently in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland. The US is very religious, so (some) people are very anti-ballgame. Whilst nobody thinks it's correct to murder a full term healthy babe, at that place's no style I would describe a fourteen year former hiding a pregnancy and killing their child, presumably to pretend the whole matter didn't happen, every bit adult get-go degree murder.

On the other hand I wouldn't exist capable of killing a rabbit at fourteen, let lone my son. I'g non saying it'south not chilling, and I don't know how the mother was affected by information technology (or not), just that I would endeavour her every bit a kid and with the circumstances in mind.

Edit: Just re-read this. I'm Not comparison infanticide to abortion, I'g simply pointing out at that place may be more than of a tendency for sympathy to go against the mother in this environs.

Ok then she was desperate and needed help, but she still strangled her own newborn babe to death!

I'chiliad non excusing that! Merely saying that in my opinion it's non as articulate cutting as her existence a cold hearted murderer. I can't imagine having to deal with existence pregnant and giving birth while still a kid. I just think that rehabilitation is more likely from mental help rather than being tried as an adult and thrown in jail.

What I plant more than agonizing are some of the comments in the articel, the judging language and the fact that a xiv twelvemonth onetime gets trialed as an adult, which is simply wrong. I mean, there is no excuse of killing a kid, simply there has to been other factors which have contributed to that. (I mean, honestly, all those people who looked abroad, that a daughter got bigger and bigger? ... Her hiding her pregnancy besides shows, that she definitely was "a bit" desperated. ... Her beingness only Fourteen. ... => kickoff degree murder? Yeah, definitely. )

Luckily she isn't black, otherwise her sentence would probably be higher. (Yeah, sarcasm.)

The girl is a icky murderer. Regardless of beingness traumatised (shouldn't have gotten pregnant then ), you shouldn't ****ing strangle a newborn. Animal. The article is right.

Well you lot believe wrong it was an accident.

And so you are but a prurient fool.

All she should take done is asked for help. Simply for yous its okay to strangle a newborn! Allow's blame parents for that!!!!!
