Girl, 17, gives birth in Walmart bathroom before her father does the unthinkable
A Texas man has been arrested after his teenage daughter gave birth in a Walmart bathroom. Officers in Kingsville have said they were called to the store just before 10.30pm on Monday, after receiving a call that a maintenance worker discovered a newborn child in a bathroom trash can while taking out the garbage, KRIS 6 reports. Walmart employees tried to perform life saving measures on the infant and authorities rushed the child to the hospital right next door, where doctors pronounced her dead. In the aftermath, officers reviewed the store's security camera footage and discovered that a 17-year-old girl had entered the bathroom, where she remained for about 40 minutes, before leaving the store and getting into a car in the parking lot. It took another half hour for the maintenance worker to discover the newborn. Police were ultimately able to track down the teenager's car and performed a traffic stop, before taking the girl to the hospital for treatment. They now plan to question her about the abandonment after she is released.
