A 24-year-old California woman has been arrested for allegedly dumping her newborn baby in the trash after giving birth at a party. Police found the infant dead in an overstuffed curbside garbage bin, just blocks from a fire station where unwanted babies can be surrendered. The woman, Jessie Canfield, was reportedly attending a surprise birthday party when she ducked into a bedroom for a couple of hours. Party-goers say she did not mention giving birth to a 6-pound baby girl, but did look "distraught."
