AWWW! HELL NO! TEEN MOM CAPTURED ON TAPE TRYING TO SMOTHER HER BABY!

A Texas teen mom could face life behind bars after she was caught on camera trying to smother her baby with a blanket and her hands.

Shantaniqua Nykole Scott, 18, of Waco was convicted Thursday of injury to a child.

She told authorities that she couldn't handle the stress of being a single, unemployed mom and wanted the 4-month-old "out of my life."

Last year, baby Rhaidyn had been flown from a Waco hospital to one in Fort Worth for a recurring, gastroesophageal reflux that caused him to stop breathing. After a doctor became suspicious of child abuse, a video monitor was placed in his room, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

What happened next horrified jurors, who saw the disturbing video earlier this week.

In the footage, Scott is seen placing a Winnie the Pooh blanket over Rhaidyn's face for more than 20 seconds. A nurse then comes into the room, while Scott walked across the room and looks at her cell phone.

Shortly after, Scott takes her hand and puts it over the baby's nose and mouth for a minute and 14 seconds. The baby is seen kicking his arms and legs before going limp.

Doctors and nurses rush into the hospital to resuscitate Rhaidyn after alarms go off, indicating he has stopped breathing.

Luckily, the baby survived and is now in foster care.

"No doubt if it hadn't been for the hospital staff, he would be dead today," prosecutor Rainey Webb said.

Defense attorney David Jones argued Scott did not cause any serious injuries to her son.

"She had no business having a baby at her age," he told the courtroom. "But what were the injuries? You didn't hear of any injuries."
