Poor little thing. They really need posters in schools telling these girls they can drop off their babies at safe havens like police stations and hospitals.

Yes. Posters would be good. And it should be covered in health class along with decent and comprehensive sex ed, among other things. So many things should be covered- child abuse, bullying, eating disorders, intimate partner violence, nutrition, etc. (IMO). Schools have a rare opportunity to reach a captive (sort of) audience.

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

Crushed my heart to think of that poor lamb.

She really drove there with a BABY already packed up in GARBAGE BAGS on the BACK SEAT. Then she TOSSED the bundle in the dumpster. No tears, no hesitation, no tenderness, no anxiety. I've seen people handle actual garbage with more consideration.

 

[JoeFromLB]

The girl sounds like a little sociopath with no human feelings. I'm sorry, but throw the book at her. I don't even want to look at her facial expression in her booking photo after reading a reference to it in a previous post. I can only imagine...

My only thoughts are with the poor baby who miraculously survived. Another miracle will be if he is able with the right support to grow up and have a decent life.

Grandfather of the New Mexico baby tossed into a dumpster by teen mom says it is his son's child | Daily Mail Online

• Although Avila told police she did not know she was pregnant until she gave birth, Stephen claimed she knew and told him she suffered a miscarriage
• Avila's mother, Martha, 47, has broken her silence to defend her daughter and told DailyMail.com that 'Everybody makes mistakes'

Sickening. I have no sympathy for the girl whatsoever. And her mom saying, “Everybody makes mistakes” sorry but double bagging a newborn baby into trash bags and throwing into a dumpster is more than just a mistake.

 

[Laughing]

At the beginning, I skipped the video and felt compassion for the 'teen' and the baby. We see plenty of that sort around Websleuths.

Well, no, this is a diabolical adult collaborating with manipulative adults.

Apparently, no one thought of selling that baby.

Looks like he may find a loving home with his Dad's family? Might be best to place him far away where Mom's group can't find him...

jmho ymmv lrr

 

[mrsselig]

I saw the video, and it was disgusting! Double bagged and flung into a dumpster! Flung! A tiny just born infant! She purposely hid this infant where she was sure he would not be found and the double bagged plastic shows intent to murder imho! She’s 18 - she had many other options! No way out and no mercy from me - it’s on video - also on video is the fact that hours passed in cold weather and this helpless newborn laid in a cold dark dumpster - miserable - and no one to comfort or care for him! Absolutely one of the most vile attempted murders I’ve ever heard of!

Hobbs woman accused of dumping newborn pleads not guilty to attempted murder
"The judge placed Avila under house arrest until her trial. She cannot leave her house unless she is going to school, a job, receiving medical or psychological counseling, or going to church if her family is also attending. She is not allowed to have or be on social media.."

 

[Hippiemomof5]

No sympathy for this teen after seeing that video. Absolutely cruel and heartless.

Beyond disturbing

 

[mickey2942]

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?

Hobbs woman accused of dumping newborn under house arrest until trial

Jan. 12, 2022

HOBBS, NM (KCBD) - The 18-year-old woman accused of throwing her newborn baby in a dumpster behind a mall in Hobbs, New Mexico is due in court Wednesday afternoon. A crowd gathered at the entrance of the courthouse with signs, one saying “Babies are a gift from God, not garbage,” and “Justice for Baby.”

Alexis Avila was arraigned in a Lea County courtroom where she is facing charges of attempted murder. There was also a pre-detention hearing scheduled where a judge will decide if Avila will be held in custody while awaiting trial.

The judge decided Avila is under house arrest until her trial. Some conditions of her house arrest are that she cannot leave her house unless she is going to school, a job, receiving medical or psychological counseling, church if her family is also attending. She is not allowed to have or be on social media, she is not allowed to be around her child or any child under the age of 10. She is also not allowed to have any male visitors at her home. She is required to wear an ankle monitor.

The judge said, “If you go somewhere, I’ll be notified and you’ll go straight to jail.” He also told the courtroom the house arrest conditions will protect the community without her being in jail.


unfortunately, no next court date or when her trial is supposed to be.

She is an adult and knew exactly what she was doing. I imagine she has suffered a lot in her life, but a lot of people have. It doesn't lessen the criminality, cruelty, and pain of what she did. JMO.
