| Teenage mom, 18, gives sickening excuse for placing her newborn baby in trash bag and tossing it in a dumpster after giving birth behind a taco stand |

| A teenage mom who was apparently living in the country illegally has given a sickening excuse for placing her newborn baby in a trash bag and tossing it in a dumpster. Everilda Cux-Ajtzalam, 18, a Guatemalan national, was taken into custody on Thursday for allegedly leaving the baby boy with his umbilical cord still attached in the dumpster outside of an apartment building in Houston, Texas on July 21. She allegedly told police in the aftermath that she thought she had 'no choice' but to put the baby in the dumpster because she didn't want her boyfriend to break up with her, according to court documents obtained by Law & Crime. The documents go on to reveal she gave birth 'on the ground behind the food truck where she works' and then taking the baby - referred to in court documents as John Doe or CW - and placing him in a dumpster. '[Defendant] put the child, placenta and umbilical cord into a trash bag, took the trash bag to a dumpster and left the child in the dumpster tied inside the trash bag,' a magistrate judge wrote in a bond order, noting that the 'event' was caught on surveillance footage. Eventually, a passerby heard the newborn crying from the dumpster and called 911. Officers with the Houston Police Department and emergency personnel responded to the scene at around 1.15pm. Cux-Ajtzalam is now charged with one count of felony abandoning a child without the intent to return. Cux-Ajtzalam's bond was later raised to $200,000 on Monday, ABC 13 reports. She is said to be a flight risk, having no ties to the country, according to Click 2 Houston. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have also placed a hold on her release, and court documents noted she was previously arrested in 2023 by Customs and Border Patrol. The court documents also note she has a mental disability. |
