Police started investigating after Gonzalez-Lopez brought an infant to a hospital on Feb. 11.
In an interview with detectives, KSDK reports that Gonzalez-Lopez told police that the father of the child was his son, Lopez-Cante, and that the mother was the teen’s 11-year-old relative.
Charging documents said the baby still had the umbilical cord and placenta attached and had a body temperature of just 90 degrees.
