She should be charged as an adult. She pulled the baby out of her vagina by herself, put her hands around the baby's throat and killed him. She knew she did wrong.. She hid the poor boy after he was dead.

She is only 14 years old. She is just a child herself, ffs. She was scared and panicked. Sounds plausible to me. How sad for all involved.

An adult.

If a child murders anybody they should automatically be charged as such.

At fourteen, I am sure she knew she had other options other than that. I am sure her sisters or everyone else that knew about it talked to her about it.

Really? It's idiotic ideas like this that cause more issues down the road. Lock her up and feed her drugs till she drools in her shoe, don't make her face the music of what she has done. She killed an innocent baby. And why? Because if she had kept the baby, SHE wouldn't be the baby anymore and her relationship with her parents would change. Yet she is trying to say she HAD no relationship with her parents... She needs to be locked up, charged with first degree murder and given the proper sentence. And yes, in FL that IS the death penalty.

you'd have to be mentally unstable to some degree to keep a dead baby in a shoe box in your room....

  The commission of a heinous crime does not turn a child into an adult.

Sad how many of you are so quick to judge and punish her when I'm sure the majority of you faced (and are still facing) issues with PPD and other mental illnesses.

she knew that putting her hands around a neck would cause death. she knew she was pregnant. hid EVERYTHING. i don't see how that's grounds for mentally unstable.

As an adult. Every thing she did from hiding it, to putting the baby in the shoe box and keeping it, was a choice. I also think they should throw in premeditation as well, because obviously she knew she wasnt going to keep the baby, but made no attempt to set up any other options.

She should be charged as an adult. I've seen people saying they thought she might have had PPD or PPP, but come on! She strangled that baby while it was still connected to her. It was premeditated in my opinion. There is no way she gave birth and just freaked out. She thought about it way before it happened. She used freaking scissors to get the baby out for crying out loud. I don't think she should get off easier because people think "Oh she's just a mentally ill child", because she isn't. Every person that purposely and viciously kills another human being in cold blood isn't right in the head. She shouldn't get it easier because of her age. SHe's a cold blooded murderer.

In just 4 years she'll legally be an adult, she won't change into a completely different person in that amount of time. If all 14 year olds could just kill a baby because they were scared then this world is smurfed. She's a disgusting person and she will still be a disgusting person in 4 years. It's about as plausible as the guy that broke his baby's legs over a few weeks and then finally shook him to death.

At 14, you know right from wrong, etc. There are plenty of girls her age who get pregnant and either get an abortion or put the baby up for adoption if they aren't ready to be a mother. Either option would've been better than what she did. I'm sorry, there's no excuse for what she did. She should rot in prison.
