Still no next court date in this one either. I'll keep looking.

I guess that I am the odd one out, I see two victims here. We don't know the situation or story of the woman involved. No judgment from me. But, this type of occurrence is not unusual, I am sure that we will be seeing more and more of these.

Is the "solution" prison for 20 years or more for this young gal?

Yes.
We complain over and over about children who are failed by the system. That if only certain agencies would have "done their job", less children would be abused and murdered. Well here we have a situation where an adult (not "young gal"), committed a heinous act that left the MOST vulnerable of victims to suffer excruciatingly until the verge of death. She did it with premeditation, fully expecting the child would be tortured to death then end up being crushed in a landfill, just so she could go back to sitting in her bed, playing on her phone. This kind of person needs to be separated from society so NO FURTHER VICTIMS will suffer from her abuse. The law does not discriminate against a victim of attempted murder, no matter their age. Do you think it should? Moo.

I had a friend who didn't know she was pregnant. Two days before giving birth she was in gym class at the bottom of a pyramid holding up two other girls. Everyone was in shock when she gave birth. We thought she was in hospital because she'd been complaining of stomach pains and she had appendicitis or something. Imagine our shock when we went to visit her in the maternity ward.

This girl, though, I just can't get that image of her casually throwing that baby in the dumpster and leaving without even a backward glance. Didn't pause to take a breath and think about what she'd done. Just hopped back in the car and drove away in broad daylight.

If she didn't even know she was pregnant how did she know how to clamp and tie off the umbilical cord and not to do it before delivering the afterbirth.? Most women who are aware they are pregnant read about stuff like that even though they never expect to go through an emergency delivery.

Did someone help her? Could medical personnel estimate the actual time of birth by looking at the umbilical cord? Was the baby just left alone for several hours prior to dumping it in the hopes it would die?

I understand many women suffer post partum depression after a baby is born and in very rare cases have killed their children. I don't believe this is the case here.

Wrapped in a wet towel. It's a miracle he made it. That woman is pure evil.

 

[Bluemagoo89]

I rarely comment, but this is fully sickening, I've known about the ability to safe drop and infant since I can remember, like I'm talking grade school, there's NO excuse for what she did. She needs to be put away and sterilized. I'm literally in triage at labor and delivery reading about this case and it's heartbreaking to know how callous her actions were. What she did... just is the grossest thing I've ever seen.

 

[beatrixpotter]

NO, just no. She was 18 and THREW that baby in the dumpster with NO concern whatsoever. She had a car, she could have gone anywhere. She needs charged.

This. The sympathy for a grown woman who threw a living breathing child. Her OWN child in a trash bag in a dumpster? I can't believe the sympathy in this thread.

She can drive. She has internet access. She can search anything she wants. She's not a moron. Her intention was to KILL her baby. She didn't need a poster somewhere to let her know to not throw a human being in the garbage.

She's a sociopath most likely. No one needs to be told not to throw a baby away. Who feels sympathy for people who toss puppies in a bag and throw them in a body of water? No one. And no one would say an 18 yo didn't know not to kill puppies.

She knew the baby was alive and had no excuse. Not knowing you are pregnant (I don't really believe her) is not an excuse that somehow means someone's brain temporarily turned to mush and didn't know they shouldn't make calculated steps to murder their child.

Yeah, the solution is definitely going to be a punishment that fits the crime. We don't offer just therapy to adults who kill their kids. She's not a victim. Getting pregnant at 18 yo does not make her a victim. You aren't a victim because you attempted to kill your child at 18 yo.

She's no more a victim than any other attempted murderer.

I thought a good deal about your post before replying. I would have sympathy for her if she left him at a shopping centre, a public place, somewhere he'd be found quite quickly, she could've been heavily disguised and no vehicle to detect. No matter her feelings towards the baby she can still value life.
It's shocking because most people value life and for some reason, Avila doesn't. It's not as rare as we'd like it to be, sadly. The newborn is seen as a thing, an object to discard, a problem to be solved in a drastic manner. The age of the person usually doesn't factor into it, it's carried out by all ages across the board.
If AA believes the baby is her property and she can do with it what she likes, well, that's distorted thinking which needs addressing. The baby is a separate entity and deserves life no matter what she's been taught or shown.

Luckily, the little boy survived and as a result, AA will probably receive a low sentence, imo. We do have compassion for single young mothers in present times, even if it doesn't appear so when these stories first break. I'm sure the lawyer will paint a picture of the accused as a victim, she'll be the main focus and little if anything will be said about the baby.

There's CCTV, it's not wild guesswork about the disappearance of a baby, AA's action was recorded as she attempted to rid herself and this planet, of a life. If society didn't react in a horrified manner, I'd be concerned about the course we're taking. Children were once not valued, are we to return to those times?

If the msm quote is correct, her mother's statement is worrying, throwing a baby into a dumpster is a mistake?
AA didn't take a wrong turn at an intersection, she chose to end a life, her mother minimizing her daughter's actions is a red flag. In saying all that, her words may have been deliberately misconstrued by a reporter, therefore my response is only to the article.

@PrimeSuspect young gals don't throw babies in dumpsters, unless they grow up in an environment that creates sociopaths.

I have worked with children, who learned to lie, because telling the truth they would be punished. They learned to hide things, deny, blame others, theft, all survival skills in an abusive environment.

So, that is why I see two victims here. I could be wrong, maybe she has wonderful parents. Who knows.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that DNA gets taken from the baby to see who the father really is. It's all very well and good that the father of her ex-boyfriend says the baby is his grandchild but we don't know that. This baby has already suffered one of the worst indignities a human can experience: to be valued worthless. There's plenty of time to provide a proper, nourishing and loving environment to a child who needs all the luck and love he can get.

Doesn't matter what you have been through, or what you've been surprised with... there is absolutely no excuse for attempting to take a human life, especially one so innocent and helpless. I hope she has infinite guilt, but look at the circumstances... I doubt it.
I hope justice is served and that the infant has all the love in the world, and then some. It is going to need it.

[scandinavian girl]

The way she threw the baby made me nauseated . I found a dead mouse and threw it out in the trashbin, later I was so remorseful and I still think I should have buried it.

 

[modesty blaise]

I hope they don't give him back to this psycho after whatever slap on the wrist she gets.

 

[ChatteringBirds]

Yeah, she will probably not receive a very long sentence.
She will surely have her parental rights terminated, but I think the baby's paternal biological family has a high chance of being given custody once DNA results come back.
These are just my opinions; we'll see.

[Kiranerys]

Exactly! And she double-bagged a newborn baby into garbage bags and threw him into a dumpster.

And tied the bad up just to be certain it wouldn't open. I really do try to be compassionate and open minded but not this time. I just can't. She could have left him anywhere he would have been found and safe like @gitana1 said,but she didn't. She knew he wouldn't survive what she did,it's why she did it

 

[bombardier]

This reminds me a bit of the Brooke Skylar Richardson case, from back in 2017. Watching the trial, I felt bad for Brooke, but I don't think I can extend that to Alexis here. Brooke said her baby was stillborn and lawyers could never prove otherwise, but clearly the baby here was alive and kicking, he must have been absolutely wailing when she threw him in the trash! If he was still able to cry hours later, when cold and dehydrated, I can't believe he wasn't vocal when thrown away. Can't imagine how you could do that to a clearly alive newborn.

 

[cvaldez1975]

i believe she was prob in denial. she deserves to face consequences tho.

my heart breaks for that poor little baby. im hoping he never remembers this or is reminded, and i hope someone holds him and gives him close contact. when mine were newborns they always wanted to be held and i imagine being held all nice and warm inside then rudely pushed out into the cold has a lot to do w that
