SHANTANIQUA THOMAS KILLED FOR A 'CAREFREE LIFE'

"CAREFREE LIFE"

THIS is the moment when an evil teen mom tried to kill her baby son so she could "return to her carefree life.
Placing  a blanket over the four-month-old, Shantaniqua Thomas, 18, then clamps her hand over Raymond's mouth and watched as the newborn baby kicks and struggles for life. By the time the single mother removed her hand, the newborn's body appears limp.
Seconds later with alarms going off indicating the baby had stopped breathing, doctors and nurses rush in to resuscitate him
The shocking footage was played to a shocked courtroom in Waco, TX
where she was found guilty of two counts of causing serious bodily injury to a child.
Doctors who examined him at first thought he suffered from severe acid reflux and he underwent surgery to correct the condition - when acid from the stomach backs up into the oesophagus - and was released from hospital.
But two days later he was back in the emergency unit after he mysteriously stopped breathing. Staff suspected he was the victim of abuse and set up a hidden camera on the ward where the baby was recovering.
Scott is seen peering into her son's cot and placing a blanket over his face for up to 20 seconds.

Sgt Pedro Criado of the Fort Worth Police Department said Scott told detectives she didn't want her child anymore.
He said: "She just basically stated that she wanted to go back to that carefree attitude she had before she had the child."
