A 14-year-old Florida girl is facing murder charges after police said she admitted to strangling her newborn son and stuffing his body in a shoe box.

The girl gave birth to a gave birth to a 9.5-pound baby boy in the bathroom at her Lakeland, Fla., home on Sept. 19, police said.

The teen, who is 5-foot-3 and weighs 100 pounds, had been wearing baggy clothing to conceal her pregnancy from her family, police said.

When she realized she was giving birth, the girl turned on the bathroom faucet, police said she told them, and placed a towel in her mouth to mute her cries of pain as she delivered the baby.

As the agony of labor increased, police said the girl used scissors to pry the baby into the toilet.

She "lifted the moving infant from the toilet, felt for a pulse, found one, then placed her hands on the infant's neck and squeezed until he wasn't moving or breathing any longer," the Polk County Sheriff's Office said in a statement on Friday.

The 14-year-old then cleaned up the bathroom and bathed herself and the corpse of her baby before placing him in in a shoe box, along with clothes and towels that were soiled during the birth, police said.

Woman.

I guess I struggle to understand how someone could be so heartless.

I mean...I get she was 14 years old, stupid, and scared. But strangling a baby you just gave birth to? I just don't understand.

It pains me sometimes how often my initial impression lines up with Mr Aestu's

I hope they get the DNA testing done on that baby.

When they say she "stuffed a towel in her mouth to mute her cries of pain" what they really mean is that her family did this to her.

If she's giving birth at 14 she probably got pregnant at 13 which means she was probably raped repeatedly by someone, probably a close relative.
