Child Protective Services have been called in to investigate a 14-year-old Houston girl’s welfare, after she gave birth and allegedly tried to flush the baby down the toilet.

Police said the baby, who was born alive, drowned in the toilet.

The middle school’s principal, Gary Allen, sent a letter to parents to notify them of the incident.

“The staff closed off the restroom and kept students in class until the situation was contained, and students were then escorted to lunch,” Allen said in the statement. “I announced to students that a student had a medical issue and was receiving treatment. I assured them that everything was under control and asked them to try and remain focused on their classes.”
