LETTERS: TEEN SHOULD FACE CHARGES FOR BURYING BABY

To the editor:

I would like to know what makes a 14-year-old girl think it's OK to bury her baby in the backyard. I would also like to know why she shouldn't face charges of concealing a death.

I gave birth to a son two months before I was 15 years old. I was scared of what people thought also, but I never could have done what she did. I think it's outrageous that she's getting away with this. It was a baby, not a dog.
