Teen mum faces death penalty murder charge for throwing newborn son in dumpster

NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

A teenager who threw her newborn son into a trash compactor after giving birth in secret now faces the death penalty having been charged with murder. 

Jakayla Williams, 18, later told detectives she ‘didn’t want a child’ because having a baby ‘cost too much money’, Will Benny, police chief in Dothan, Alabama, told reporters. 

He said her family only learned she had given birth last week, with a concerned relative then accompanying her to a nearby hospital where she claimed to have left him with an employee. 

But staff at the Southeast Health Medical Center called police when a review of the facility’s CCTV showed no sign of her ever having been there.
