Um, yeah, cuz the " broken school rules" really trump killing a baby.....

Tragic story....and idiotic school officials who really need to keep their mouths shut.

Police charged a 14-year-old girl Thursday with murdering her baby in a school bathroom after secretly giving birth.

Police in Baytown said the girl is charged as a juvenile with capital murder. She cannot be executed because of her age.

The girl gave birth to the child April 2 in a bathroom at Cedar Bayou Junior High. Police say she stuffed toilet paper in the infant's throat and submerged him in a toilet.

The Goose Creek school district said it was also investigating what school rules the girl might have broken.

1. actually if they don't want her at the school they need to find rules she broke

presuming she is currently out on bail.

[flvegan]

2. "She cannot be executed because of her age."

That's gonna piss some folks off.

[varkam]

6. I think that's probably right.

Pity we have that pesky constitution, isn't it?

[flvegan]

8. You've hit on something.

It IS quite pesky, isn't it.

[varkam]

14. Hey, you just gave me an idea!

I think I'm going to give that Yoo fellow a call...

[flvegan]

15. You should publish a number

for that Yoo fella, maybe. In hopes that the..."less ambitious" of us will just do so because there's a step less to take.

You see where I'm going...

3. I wonder how many afternoons of detention you get for infanticide.

:freak:

[rpannier]

5. 3 saturday schools and 4 detentions...Oh...and a visit by a

fundy preacher and his wife to counsel her on God and...ahem...love

[gatorboy]

9. So it's humorous that she killed her baby?

Some of you people are really fucking unstable.

[rpannier]

10. The response is not about the baby

It's about the preposterous way the school is dealing with this situation

It's a shame you can't tell the difference.

[gatorboy]

11. It's a shame you'd even try to defend those remarks.

[asthmaticeog]

18. The object of the comment was the school bureaucracy, not the girl, not the baby.

Careful you don't get thrown off that high horse.

[stillcool]

12. killing is all the rage these days...

unless of course you aren't born yet..then it's serious business.

[rpannier]

4. The Goose Creek School District is a very warped district

[gatorboy]

7. What a horrible way to come into the world.

[Thothmes]

19. Or to leave it.

[LeftyMom]

13. Maybe they should investigate why the school nurse can't distinguish active labor from cramps?

Or why nobody on campus noticed that the girl was pregnant?

17. It's called "throwing the book" at a defendant

[notadmblnd]

20. Vandalism.... for clogging the toilet intentionally?

Don't get the child any help, just lock her up. I'd like to know where the freaking parents are in this.
