The girl told detectives that she started feeling sick on Monday, and that the discomfort continued through Wednesday. At some point between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m., the girl went into the bathroom and went into labor, the report said.

She told detectives she put a towel in her mouth and turned on the bathroom water to hide any noise she might make, investigators said.

Detectives said she told them that as the pain of the labor got worse, she used a pair of scissors to "pry the baby out." The baby boy, who measured 9-and-a-half pounds and was 20 inches long, was delivered alive and into the toilet, the report said.

Detectives said the girl then took the baby out of the toilet, felt for a pulse, then put her hands around the baby's neck and squeezed until he was no longer breathing. She told detectives she choked the baby to "stop him from breathing," the report said.

The girl cleaned up the bathroom, bathed herself and the dead infant, and then put the baby's body in a shoebox along with dirty towels and clothes, deputies said.
