Secret birth
October 23, 1974
Janet Derrick, 16, left, admitted Tuesday she is the mother of a baby found abandoned in a church on Saturday. Janet earlier reported that she and her 10-year old sister, Helena, right, found the infant by accident in a women's rest room. She later admitted she gave birth to the child at home without her parents' knowledge. This picture was made before her confession in a letter to her mother.
