A 14 year-old girl suffering from severe stomach aches gave birth in a hospital’s bathroom and then threw her baby into the trash in Turkey’s southeastern province of Siirt. 

The girl was taken to the Siirt State Hospital in order to get treatment for stomach pains, but ended up giving birth in the hospital bathroom. 

A woman at the scene realized what was happening to the girl and notified the hospital staff. 

The girl was found unconscious in the toilet and her baby was taken for treatment in intensive care. The girl is now also being treated in the same hospital under police observance. 

Police are considering the possibility that she got pregnant as a result of rape and have opened a large-scale investigation into the incident.
