Office says that the teen gave birth into a toilet at the family home. The mother then tied the newborn in underwear, put her in a Kmart bag and tossed the infant into a nearby canal, according to police. Family members of the accused are distraught and say that they didn't even know the girl was pregnant. They also say that they don't think the teen would ever hurt anyone. The father of the abandoned infant was allegedly an ex-boyfriend who didn't have any knowledge of the pregnancy.
Police do believe that the mother's current boyfriend knew about the dumping of the baby.
