Woman accused of stuffing baby in toilet tank

WACO, Texas — A former prison guard is accused of stuffing a full-term baby in the tank of a toilet after giving birth in a motel bathtub.

Khaliliha Baucom, 24, was arrested Tuesday on a charge of abuse of a corpse after her recent indictment, but she may be charged with capital murder, Marlin police detective Sgt. Michael Baker said. She was released from Falls County Jail on Wednesday after posting $2,500 bond.

Baker said Baucom, of Lott, gave birth by herself in a Marlin motel bathtub in April. Then she was taken by ambulance to a hospital after she complained of bleeding and stomach pain, Baker said.

She was airlifted to a Waco hospital for an emergency C-section, but when doctors discovered she had already given birth, they called the police, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported in its online edition Wednesday.

Marlin officers found the baby's body in the toilet tank along with the placenta and bloody towels used to clean up the bathtub, Baker said.

Child Protective Services initially took custody of Baucom's three children, but they have since been living with their fathers, Baker said.

I see another great bias case in Texas, Mother kills child and get a $2500. pr bond, where if it was daddy or any man for that fact the bond would have been 10 to 30 times higher, are no bond at all.

btw, you notice they said woman, not mother of child.
