A pregnant 14-year-old Florida girl delivered a baby boy in her parents’ bathroom and then strangling the infant to death, hiding his body in a box, law enforcement officials said Friday.

Cassidy Goodson, of Lakeland, Fla. has been charged with first degree murder and aggravated child abuse in connection with the death of her newborn son.

Investigators are deciding whether to charge her as an adult, The Ledger.com reported.

“Her son was still connected to her by the umbilical cord when she choked him to death," Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said at a news conference Friday. "I just can't get over that."

Goodson gave birth to the 9.5 pound, 20.4-inch baby on Sept. 19 and used scissors to help “pry the baby out,” investigators said.

She stuffed a towel in her own mouth and turned on the faucet so her parents wouldn’t hear any noise, the teen told investigators.

After delivering the baby in the toilet, she felt for his pulse and determined he was alive. Then she strangled him, squeezing his neck for “about a minute” until he wasn’t breathing, Judd said.

Goodson then showered with the dead infant and placed his body in a box which she buried in dirty laundry in her room, Judd said.

Her mother, Teresa Goodson, noticed a foul odor in her room three days later and found the baby’s remains. The mother called her sisters, who in turn called 911, authorities said.

A freshman in high school, Goodson is 5 foot 3 and weighs about 100 pounds, police said. She hid her pregnancy by wearing baggy clothes.

Though other people had become suspicious that the teen was pregnant over the summer, her mother was “in complete denial,” Judd said.

Goodson at first told investigators that she had suffered a miscarriage, but an autopsy revealed the baby was full term and had died of asphyxia from strangulation.

Detectives were working to determine the father’s identity, Judd said.

"Everybody's a loser here, but this 14-year-old child murdered her infant baby, which was successfully delivered at home," Judd said.

Investigators said the teen showed little emotion during questioning, but when asked why she did it, she responded that she didn’t want to change the relationship with her family, Tampa Bay Online reported.

It was unclear if Goodson had obtained a lawyer or how she intends to plead.

Crazy bitch:eek:
Poor child RIP

[conniption]

No words can describe how fucking stupid she is.

[Thunduhbuhlt]

Please, oh please charge her as an adult. There is no worse crime than this if you ask me. She deserves to rot in prison for the rest of her life. I am at a loss for words even trying to explain how awful this is.

[West Coast Sheriff]

How lcpuld anyone do anything like that. She deserves to go to prizon. :mad:It was stupid in the first place for her to get pregnant at that age.:mad:

[xXoblivionXx]

oh my god :( that's horrible. If I ever got pregnant as a teen I would cherish my child

[Noxail]

Oh my fucking god. Oh that poor, poor baby.

[Iron Man]

That is just...revolting. Ever hear of adoption?

[FreeFall]

Someone neuter her.
Just fucking cut her open, remove her ovaries, remove her uterus and sew her vagina shut. She does not deserve the chance to ever procreate after this horrendous thing.

She's old enough to know safe sex. She's old enough to know about pregnancy. She's old enough to have spoken up to someone to figure out her options, giving birth to brutally kill the infant is NOT a way. It's sick she planned this. She checked for its pulse, fucking made sure it was alive to kill it. That baby was born, it had potential, it was already out and dependent and the one person it was supposed to have been able to depend on, its mother, squeezed its life out! May she never ever become pregnant again!

[Thunduhbuhlt]

That is just...revolting. Ever hear of adoption?

Even abortion is more of a reasonable decision and I dislike abortion in most cases.

[Mob Boss]

:cry: Oh my gosh. She had other options, yet decided to be ignorant, and selfish about it. That's terrible. :/ I hope four prison walls are what she sees the rest of her life.

[Mortal Coil]

Okay, this is the worst thing I've heard in a long time. I can understand getting pregnant at such a young age, but if she didn't want the baby she should have gotten a motherfucking abortion. Why is is so hard for people to figure that out that they have to turn to infanticide? Just give it up for adoption or something.
And I really, really hope she gets tried as an adult. If she's old/mature enough to give birth, she should take adult responsibility.

[OrKing]

Jesus, that's fucked up.

[FreeFall]

Actually, I take back what I said about her being mature enough for sex, the info never said she had consensual sex.

Is there a possibility it was a rape pregnancy?
This troubles me more that she says she feared changing the relationship with her family, what if it was a family member or friend of a parent?

This doesn't mean I condone her plan of action in any way, and I still say neuter her, but if she was raped, she's still a child herself. It's a bias I've got, you do not hurt the born and living children.
Someone caused a horrendous crime against her if she was raped. This is all because of that if it was, I can then understand her way of thinking and maybe why she was emotionless.
Still don't condone it.

[TheBigUnit]

Wow she couldve died then and there giving birth I'm impressed how she dealt with the matters. 9 months of concealment ..........

She is just plain dumb, tht image of here strangling tht baby still connected is terrible, she is soooo dumb, she legit saw the light at the end of the tunnel and no one stopped her and she stillndropped the ball, she couldve at least buried him :/

Charge her as underage though

[Infidelitas]

If she is old enough to get pregnant, then kill the baby, she is old enough to be tried as an adult. She knew full well that what she was doing was wrong.

[Lost in the Echo]

Wow, how the fuck could anyone do that to a newborn? That little skank is the one who whored around and got pregnant ( even though she shouldn't be having sex at that age ) . So she should expect to get pregnant from unprotected sex. Also she should take responsibility for her actions, and take care of her baby since she was the one who decided to have unprotected sex. I hope that evil bitch gets life in prison.

[Breakeven]

thats just awful!

[MisterSix]

And I really, really hope she gets tried as an adult. If she's old/mature enough to give birth, she should take adult responsibility.

She clearly isn't old/mature enough to give birth if she kills it while its still attached.
I vote she should be charged as a youth

[xXJust Jump ItXx]

Okay, this is the worst thing I've heard in a long time. I can understand getting pregnant at such a young age, but if she didn't want the baby she should have gotten a motherfucking abortion.

I have no words for it.... And yes if she didnt wanna have it, abort it or give birth and put it up for adoption!

[Jess]

What the hell...what was she thinking? ugh, this is so sick. that poor baby

[Nathan Numberless]

This is... the end of the world... o_o
Charged for youth.
I'm gonna go stare out the window and listen to dissonant techno now...

[HunterSteele]

made sure it was alive to kill it
Well yeah, she can't kill something that isn't alive.

[FreeFall]

Well yeah, she can't kill something that isn't alive.
Not my point.

Had it been a still born she wouldn't have, obviously. But to check it, to just plan it out, it's sickening. Though if I had to pick the lesser of two evils, it's probably best she strangled it so heartlessly than leave it to starve or suffocate under her dirty laundry.

[WaffleSingSong]

Wow 0_0 that's just really fucked up. I mean, a girl at my school had a baby when she was 12, and is still taking care of it quite nicely from what I hear.

And I know this is out of topic, but...

...that was one big-ass baby...

[Allbutanillusion]

People are so narcissistic, only concern for themselves and how the situation at hand is going to affect them.

Now because of her illogical thinking in a moment of spontaneous action she is in a lot more trouble than if she just can out and said that she had a baby and wanted to put it up for adoption.

Human beings..., so disappointing and stupid at times.

[xXJust Jump ItXx]

Wow 0_0 that's just really fucked up. I mean, a girl at my school had a baby when she was 12, and is still taking care of it quite nicely from what I hear.

12.... You gotta be kidding me... 12? There not even a teenager!! WTF!! OMG... :confused:

[Manjusri]

What in the absolute fuck. I have lost so much faith in humanity. A 14 year old, strangling her own child.. while it was still connected by the umbilical cord!

[Lyra Heartstrings]

I agree it's bad, but..she's 14. I can guarantee she was terrified. She wanted to hide it from her family. Did she go about it right? Hell no. But she's a child. She as scared.

[PinkFloyd]

This is horrible! Charge her as an adult!
