In November of last year Beant Kaur Dhillon of Bakersfield, California, discovered that her 15 year-old daughter had given birth in the bathroom of their family home. The 43 year-old Dhillon later stated that she didn't want the shame of a bastard in the family and called on a relative to held dispose of the infant, whom they drowned.
After drowning the baby, Dhillon allegedly worked with the cousin to bury the body in the backyard. When the teen's father was notified about the baby, he allowed the boy to be buried and did not inform police or request medical treatment for his daughter. Dhillon was also charged with felony assault of a child with force likely to cause great bodily injury, resulting in death, and felony child abuse.
This month, Dhillon pleaded not guilty to the charges. Her trial is scheduled for later this year.
