A newborn baby was discovered in a garbage in southwest Houston on Sunday, according to the police. A lady who is 18 years old has been charged with the kidnapping of the infant.
In a statement released on Thursday, the Houston Police Department stated that the mother, Everilda Cux-Ajtzalam, is currently being treated at the hospital and is being charged with abandoning a child.
Baby Gabriel was rescued by emergency personnel on Sunday from the dumpster that was located behind an apartment complex by Dashwood Drive.
According to the management of the apartment complex, a taco truck employee gave birth inside a nearby food truck and then threw the baby away in the dumpster before returning to clean up the mobile eatery.
In a video that was captured by witnesses, emergency medical services personnel can be seen putting a blanket over a newborn baby boy while standing close to a dumpster that is jam-packed with rubbish.
His skin was pink and had been pruned, and his hair appeared to still be wet. His umbilical cord appeared to be fresh.
According to the police, the infant boy was taken to the hospital, where it was established that he was in relatively excellent health. He is currently being cared for by Child Protective Services.
