A maintenance worker found a newborn baby alive in a Texas dumpster. After hearing cat mewing sounds coming from the dumpster, the worker approached and found the baby boy, then purple and struggling for air, in a white trash bag, along with containers of food, scraps and school work. The maintenance worker took the baby to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston. Police have since identified the mother as a 16-year-old who attends South Houston High School. The teen is now under examination at the same hospital where her baby is being cared for. Once released, she will be questioned by police, who will then decide whether to bring up charges. This case of child abandonment is particularly odd because Texas has a special law to help new mothers who can’t take care of their children. The law states that babies up to 60-days-old can be dropped off without fear of prosecution at any hospital, fire station or ambulance station, as long as the baby is handed off to a person.
