Family 'beat pregnant 13-year-old until she had miscarriage then tried to burn aborted baby'

WARNING: Disturbing content: Police claim one of the suspects held her arms while another sat on her stomach “repeatedly bouncing up and down”

Shock: The housing block in Dallas, Texas where the alleged incident happened

Four family members accused of beating a pregnant 13-year-old relative so she would have a miscarriage have been arrested.
Police said the traumatised girl, now aged 16, came forward with the allegations this week.
Another person was also arrested for sexually assaulting a minor.
When four family members found out she was 8 months pregnant in 2013, fearing child protection would be called, they “took matters into their own hands” to abort the baby, officers claim.
The girl told authorities in Dallas, Texas, that she was at first given multiple doses of birth control pills, morning after pills and cinnamon tablets.
But when these didn't work, deputy police chief Garza told CBS local the relatives went about “physically assaulting the victim to the point where the victim gave birth."

Accused: The family were arrested by cops in Dallas, Texas

Police documents allege the teen's arms were pinned to the floor while one suspect sat on her stomach "repeatedly bouncing up and down."
Others kicked and punched her in the stomach and she was given a cushion to scream into as to not wake other family members, it is claimed.
One relative was claimed to be laughing while another allegedly told her: "B****, you ain’t about to get my kids taken away from me.”
The victim said the assault started at 5pm and didn't finish until around 11pm, when the group spotted blood dripping through the girl's pants.
She was allegedly placed into a bathtub, where she passed out, officers claimed.
It was only then, when one of the group took the stillborn baby to a "metal charcoal grill and attempted to burn it," but it was unsuccessful, so they gave it to another suspect to dispose of, police said.
Five suspects are in custody and police said they may still face additional charges in relation to the case.
Officers are still looking for the remains of the baby.
