A pregnant fourteen-year-old girl
secretly delivered her baby with a pair of scissors in the family
bathroom before she strangled the boy to death and hid the body
in a
shoe box.
Cassidy Goodison,
14, has been charged as an adult with first degree murder after police
learned how she killed her child following months of fearfully
disguising her pregnancy from her mother and father.
Her
harrowing case has shocked even experienced officers and graphically
illustrates the problems of the 750,000 teenage Americans who fall
pregnant every year.
Goodison
went into labor in her home in Greenbrier Village, Florida on September
19 and instead of calling for help, disguised her screams of pain by
running the tap and gripping a towel between her teeth as she sat on the
toilet.
Miss Goodson told detectives she was
motivated to hide her pregnancy and choke the baby 'to stop him from
breathing,' by the fear that her relationship with her parents would
change if they found out the truth.
Miss
Goodson was arrested on Thursday and transported first to the Juvenile
Assessment Center and then to the Polk County Juvenile Detention
Facility.
She is charged with Premeditated First Degree Murder, a capital felony and Aggravated Child Abuse, a first degree felony.
