I don’t even know what to say about this story. It is just so amazing. I don’t know if I should laugh, cry or be angry. Maybe a little of everything.
LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) – A 17-year-old girl gave birth secretly at home, then walked four blocks to a hospital with the baby still attached by its umbilical cord.
“I was just a little nervous” when the labor began, Xochitl Parra said Friday from St. Mary Medical Center as she cradled her 8-pound, 3-ounce son, Alejandro. 
The boy was normal and “eating like a champ,” said Dr. Jose Perez, director of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
The teenager said she was alone and taking a shower around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday to get ready for school. Then the contractions took over.
“I felt his head coming, so I sit down and pushed so he could come out,” she said.

I just….I’m speechless.
Where the hell is the father?
I’m glad that the baby is safe and both the mother and newborn seem to be healthy. Beyond that, there are so many questions I don’t know where to begin.
Where is the newborn’s father?
Where is the new mother’s father?
Why didn’t she put the baby up for adoption?
Why couldn’t she tell her mom that she was pregnant?
Why not wake the neighbors to make the call? If there was a time, this is it.
How is this girl going to care for this newborn?
There are many pieces of this missing so I grant some rope here but the questions could go on forever. By God’s providence things turned out as well as they did despite everything being wrong.
