Three family members of an 11-year-old Missouri girl who gave birth in a bathtub earlier this month after allegedly being raped by a teenage boy are facing multiple criminal charges, FOX NEWS reported. A man and woman are each charged with child endangerment and a 17-year-old boy faces charges of incest, statutory rape and statutory sodomy of a child younger than 12. All live in the St. Louis suburb of St. Charles. The woman is also accused of failing to provide medical care to the child upon giving birth. The man brought the baby to St. Joseph's Medical Center about an hour after its birth on Feb. 11, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Wednesday.

Authorities said the man was in the U.S. illegally and had previously been deported.

Minnesota lawmakers are pushing to remove a clause from the state constitution that allows slavery and involuntary servitude as punishment for crimes, according to FOX NEWS. The bill of rights in the 1857 Minnesota Constitution says: “There shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in the state otherwise than as punishment for a crime of which the party has been convicted.” The proposed amendment would strike the punishment exception, leaving a total ban in place. “It’s inappropriate that language mentioning slavery still exists in our constitution, even if’s narrowly constructed and, some would say, obsolete,” St. Paul Democratic Rep. John Lesch said at a news conference on Thursday. “While we’ve undoubtedly made progress in expanding civil rights, racial bias remains persistent in our state and we see the effects of that in the news every day.”
