A South Carolina mother dumps newborn in a trash can

"Pac is gone and Brenda still throwin' babies in the garbage." When Game said that on his hit record "Hate it or Love it", a lot of people just thought it was a slick line. But, in reality, Game was on point. Recently, a South Carolina mother was arrested for this exact thing. WYFF 4 has more on the story:

A Greenville woman has been charged with attempted murder and unlawful neglect of a child after police said she left her newborn baby in a trash can.

Sharon Ferguson was taken into custody Monday afternoon.

Public information officer Johnathan Bragg said officers responded to a home on Chaney Street in the Nicholtown community around 4:30 Monday afternoon

Bragg said the owner of the rental home was doing maintenance when he noticed blood outside the trash can. When he looked inside, he saw the infant.

Bragg says the baby boy is alive and rescue crews worked on him at the scene before transporting him to a hospital. Police said he is in stable condition.

Neighbor Ouida Neasley said, "I was upset. I saw the baby after they had pulled it out of the trash can and the fire department got here and I saw that the baby was moving."

According to police warrants, Ferguson told investigators that on or about April 21 she gave birth to the baby, and placed him in a plastic grocery bag and wrapped him in a pink blanket. She then put the child into a trash can in the backyard and willfully abandoned him.
