· Story Highlights from source: CNN

· 8-pound, 3-ounce boy healthy, "eating like a champ," doctor says

· Xochitl Parra was getting ready for school when the contractions began

· "I felt his head coming, so I sit down and pushed so he could come out," Parra says

· Teen says pregnancy kept secret because she feared being kicked out of her home

What is amazing is that the mother said “" I started walking and jogging to the hospital."

Simply remarkable and sad at the same time for she feared being kicked out of her home. I wonder who would really have taken her in (besides the State) if she was indeed “kicked out” for as we already know, talk is often very cheap and compassionate actions are very few and far between. Any takers?
