Minnesota, April 14: A 17-year-old girl stabbed her newborn baby 135 times in a “panic state and then tossed her body in a garbage can outside her home in this Midwestern state, authorities said.

The high school senior told police she gave birth on the floor of the laundry room in her home early on Monday, according to court documents. Nicole Marie Beecroft said she saw the baby’s finger move and then stabbed the child in a “panic state, the complaint said.

An autopsy determined the infant was born alive, but suffered numerous puncture wounds in the chest area and bled to death from 135 sharp-force injuries, the complaint said.

“She kills the baby and now her life will be changed forever, Washington County Attorney Doug Johnson said on Thursday.

Beecroft was charged with first-degree, or premeditated, murder and was being held in a juvenile detention facility. The girl’s mother told police she did not know her daughter was pregnant.

I agree...I have to onder if anyone knew she was even pregnant.

Sad case though. Some kids just do not see the long term results of an action done in panic. Poor baby had no chance at a life.

Babies having babies! :wah:

It was said, the girl’s mother told police she did not know her daughter was pregnant. Was the mother blind, or just stupid, or just taking a copout stand.
