Oklahoma police have arrested a Tulsa mom whose 12-year-old daughter gave birth to a 24-year-old man’s child after the family allegedly threw a baby shower in connection with the child rape case.

The girl, whose name police have not released due to her age, arrived at a midtown Tulsa hospital last month {snip}
