This story really stuck in my crawl. A 15 year old mother tried to kill her infant while allegedly throwing the baby out of a moving taxi cab. A nearby store owner witnessed the whole thing. The baby was wrapped with a towel and covered in blood. Luckily the baby survived. What a horrible mother. Who would let a 15 year old take care of a baby when she herself is still a kid. I’m sure there were signs that she wasn’t fit to be a mother. Someone who tries to kill their child should be showing some signs of distress or unhappiness. Let’s just say, she ruined the rest of her life but luckily this story had a happy ending and the baby survived. The 15 year old could be charged with infanticide. (Never heard of that charge until now)
