I remember this case. The baby was found by people who love to “dumpster dive”. They found the baby just hours after he had been thrown into the dumpster and called 911. Thank God they decided to go dumpster diving that night and that dumpster!
Thank God the unheralded rescuers decided to go
dumpster diving that night......and found the baby.
Amen

Hobbs, the Camden NJ of New Mexico
Somebody's either lying or is as dumb as a box of rocks.
Upon a search I found that the baby is being raised by his father’s family. The baby’s father spoke at Avrila’s sentencing, as did Avrila’s dad. who said he hoped some day to meet his grandson.
Yep. I remember in 1961 an attack and rape on a baby in Hobbs. The attacker cut through the screen door or windo. At Carlsbad High School the next week teens were joking about it.
“Hey Joe! I see you were in HOBBS last week! Duhua duhua duhua!”
That’s good, that the Baby is now with the parent who was ready to love and care for him. If it can be done, that little boy should never know that when his Mom gave birth to him, as soon as she had recovered enough to move around, she walked to the nearest garbage dumpster and threw him inside. So many people already know about it, that will be a hard secret to keep.
Probably Answer C.
for Both lying and dumb.
Not unattractive in her mugshot, er, booking photo.
