Man accidentally shoots self at gun show
STANTON, Calif., Dec. 24 (UPI) -- A young Southern California woman was charged Thursday with dumping a newborn whose body was found in a Dumpster next to a Mexican restaurant.
Police said the suspect is 19 and an Anaheim, Calif., resident but did not release her name, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Jim Amormino, a spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department, said she was under guard at a hospital. She went there Wednesday, denying she had just delivered a child, but doctors reported to police they believed she had.
Sheriff's deputies found the body at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Stanton.
Investigators believe the woman gave birth Tuesday in the ladies room while eating at the restaurant, Amormino said. He called dumping the baby, allegedly a healthy full-term infant, "barbaric" because she could have taken it to a nearby firehouse or police station under the state's safe haven law.
