A young mother in Texas is accused of placing her newborn baby boy in a dumpster just moments after giving birth, Click2Houston reported on Saturday.
Everilda Cux-Ajtzalam, 18, was arrested on July 23 and is facing a charge for abandoning a child without intent to return, the report states, citing court documents. Police said Cux-Ajtzalam gave birth on the ground behind a food truck she was working at on Dashwood Drive in Houston.
“After giving birth, court records state that the teenager tied the baby, placenta, and umbilical cord into a trash bag before placing it inside a nearby dumpster, leaving the baby behind,” according to the report.
