Alexis Avila receives sentencing for throwing baby in dumpster.

Alexis Avila has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for throwing her newborn baby into a dumpster in Hobbs, New Mexico. She was found guilty of child abuse resulting in great bodily harm and attempted first-degree murder. The baby was found alive by three people who were digging through the dumpster and is now in the care of other relatives. The judge cited Avila's young age and undiagnosed mental illnesses as mitigating factors in his decision to knock the sentence from 18 to 16 years.

Mothers convicted of attempted murder for disposing of newborns in dumpsters.

Jury selection has begun in the trial of Alexis Avila, a young mother from Hobbs, who is accused of abandoning her newborn son in a dumpster in January 2022. Avila, who was 18 at the time, claimed she had no idea she was pregnant and was worried about the consequences of having a baby at her age. She has been charged with abuse of a child resulting in great bodily harm intentional or recklessly. The baby, known as Saul, was found wrapped in trash bags and was taken to a local hospital. He was later released and taken in by his father and paternal grandparents. New Mexico Senator David Gallegos is reintroducing a bill to get baby boxes in all 33 counties in the state, in hopes of giving mothers a safe option to surrender their babies.
