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.

That's pretty fucked up. How someone could strangle a baby, I'll never know. What makes it worse is she thought putting the remains in a box and then 'burying' the them under a pile of clothing would somehow get her off the hook. Dreadful story and a damn shame too.

"Put a towel in her mouth so the parents wouldn't notice anything"

Are they meaning to say her parents didn't know she was pregnant. What absolute morons.

LET ME SEE YOUR STOMACH, DAUGHTER. Fucking duh. How you can not pay attention enough to your own daughter for that kind of time period is beyond me.

And she showered with her murdered baby? Something's not right with that girl. This is on the mother's head too, IMO.

I hate the human race sometimes. Just outright hate it. We can be absolutely vile to each other.

Strangle the bitch.

What a cunt, the child's now in heaven whilst that evil fucker will burn in hell.

Bad parents, failed to teach her not to be a whore, and doesn't even notice she's pregnant. I wish adolescents could get capital punishment.

She Chris Benoited the kid huh? Fucking douche. I hope they charge her as an adult.

Wait, what???

Hmm was expecting to read a story about a sibling strangling a new brother/sister. That was one of the more disturbing things I've seen in awhile. Words escape me.
