Investigators are piecing together the strange case of a baby born to a 13-year-old girl and, Police suspect, a 13-years-old boy.
Baker Police Chief Carl Dunn says the family wasn’t aware she was pregnant and she gave birth in her bedroom. Dunn says the teen dropped the newborn off, with the umbilical cord still attached on a school teacher’s front porch.
Dunn says after the baby was born the teen got her brother to assist with dropping the child off at a neighbor’s house.
Dunn says he’s getting the word out about this incident because Louisiana law allows mothers to legally relinquish their newborns without repercussions.
