Attorney for Port Angeles teen mom slams charges
01:14 PM PST on Thursday, January 8, 2009
PORT ANGELES, Wash. -- The attorney for a Port Angeles teen suspected of drowning an infant boy in a toilet says the murder charges against her client are inappropriate.
Suzanne Hayden of the Clallum County public defender's office says the 16-year-old was impregnated by a sex offender in Colorado in his 30s.

Hayden says the mother is a child who didn't even know she was in labor and went into shock after giving birth on a toilet.
She called the infant's death a horrible tragedy, but said charging her client with first-degree murder as an adult is inappropriate.
The mother is being held in a juvenile detention center in Port Angeles in lieu of $500,000 bail.
