Student Gives Birth in High School Bathroom, Abandons Dead Baby for Classmates to Discover
A high school student reportedly gave birth in a Dallas high school bathroom and the dead baby was found when students alerted a janitor.
officials have more questions than answers at this point, according to local news reports and police are looking for fellow students who may have more knowledge about what happened.
“We’re reviewing video, talking to the teachers, trying to determine if anybody has any knowledge of any student that may have had something going on in their life, and pray,” Dallas Police Major John Lawton tells Fox 4.
The bathroom is being treated as a crime scene, the district tells News 10.
“The district encourages parents and families to discuss the situation with their students, and when appropriate, encourage their students to meet with counseling staff at the school,” a prepared statement from the district reads.
Oddly, local media reports call the dead newborn a “deceased fetus” — even though a fetus is a baby before birth.
