VIDEO: “Then I listened and a heard a little, “whaa.” And I yanked that bag open and I said oh my frickin’ god it’s a baby,” says April Nutall.
That’s how she described her reaction to finding a newborn baby in a dumpster in Hobbs, New Mexico two weeks ago.
The baby’s mother 18-year-old Alexis Avilia was seen on January 7, 2022 tossing the garbage sack wrapped newborn into a dumpster. That’s thanks to a surveillance camera located above the trash receptacle.
At her initial appearance, the judge in this case probably had the same reaction many people did. “The events for any human being a truly repulsive,” said Judge William Shoobridge during Avilia’s initial appearance in court. “They’re horrific. No one can condone this callus activity,” said the judge. Avilia has plead not guilty to child abuse and attempted first degree murder. She has been placed on house arrest pending trial.
