USA - A Texas teen mom could face life behind bars after she was
caught on camera trying to smother her baby with a blanket and her
hands.
Shortly after, Scott takes her hand and puts it over the baby’s nose and mouth for a minute and 14 seconds.
The baby is seen kicking his arms and legs before going limp. Doctors
and nurses rush into the hospital to resuscitate Rhaidyn after alarms
go off, indicating he has stopped breathing.
Luckily, the baby survived and is now in foster care.”No doubt if it
hadn’t been for the hospital staff, he would be dead today,” prosecutor
Rainey Webb said.
Shantaniqua Nykole Scott, 18, of Waco was convicted Thursday of
injury to a child.She told authorities that she couldn’t handle the
stress of being a single, unemployed mom and wanted the 4-month-old “out
of my life.
