A Nevada mother who abandoned two of her newborn babies in dumpsters has allegedly claimed she ‘had no desire’ to take care of another child.
Taylour Sierra Dickinson, 28, was taken into custody last week, after a good Samaritan found her newborn son crying in an apartment complex dumpster in Sun Valley in the early morning hours of July 5, the Reno Gazette Journal reports.
The passerby then climbed into the dumpster to rescue the child – who was stuffed inside a garbage bag – and notified authorities, who rushed the infant to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced ‘healthy and doing well,’ according to the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities did not initially reveal any further details about the case, but when Dickinson appeared at the Sparks Justice Court for a bail hearing on July 9, it was revealed she had given birth to the boy between 2am and 3am, and placed the baby in the dumpster at around 3.30am.
The treacherous act was caught on video surveillance, Washoe County Sheriff’s Detective Claire Hoops-Adams testified.
