re: 14 y.o strangles and kills newborn

Not given the circumstances, no.

Anyone remember Mellissa Drexler, aka the "Prom Mom"? She was older, more affluent and dumped her baby like a used tampon and IIRC she got NO jail-time!

Why would a neglected fourteen-year-old get worse? I really think her whole family was in denial, even the parents of her softball teammates noticed her pregnancy!

She is 14, she knew what she was doing, she should be tried as an adult and put in juvy or whatever until she is old enough for prison.

i got pregrant at 14 but i did have a miscarrige but if i didnt i still would not have strangled my baby...for her sorry but i wouldnt trust her to have kids ever again if she can kill one who says she wouldnt do more...but she would be instering to watch on dr.phil just to hear her side of the story cause maybe im wrong

I got pregnant at 13 and would have delivered at 14. There's no doubt in my mind that I was unstable enough to kill it.

Huge difference between me at 13 and me at 22  

Just throwing this out there....

What if the poor girl went through a horrific, traumatizing rape that messed her up so bad mentally that she really felt she had no other choice but to do what she did?

Murder, is murder.

No she shouldn't be charged as an adult,because she's still a child herself. She does deserve to do time in juvenile and ALOT of it.

Why is it that everyone feels the need to chime in with, "I would have never done that"? It's not really relevant to this girl's mental state.

what i dont get why not leave the baby in the toliet why take it out then kill the baby

This makes me so sick. I mean... emotionally, esp in the state I'm in right now, I cant understand carrying your child inside you and feeling kicks and moves, and then kill it once it's born. Same with abuse. These poor babies are just carried for 9 months to be born to be abused and raped shortly after birth, and I cant understand.

I really cant. I just.... I dunno. I cant even deal with this, I'm too emotional.

you should probably try to stay away from reading stuff like this

I was a mess when pregnant and this kind of thing just really was too much for me
