LAQUASIA WRIGHT TOSSED BABY DOWN TRASH CHUTE

EVIL

AN evil mom tossed her newborn baby boy down a garbage shoot, like it was a piece of trash, but her disgusting ploy to dispose of the child was foiled by the garbage itself, cops say. If Laquasia Wright had picked any other day she may have succeeded with her disgusting plan but a large amount of trash had collected in the compactor room over the weekend, which cushioned the landing. A maintenance worker heard a baby boy's cries coming from the trash compactor and the child was taken to Brooklyn Hospital where he remains in stable condition. Jerry Schmetterer, spokesman for the Brooklyn District Attorney's office said the baby did not appear to have been injured in the fall.
Wright, 18, was quickly picked up on charges of attempted murder and endangering the welfare of a child. Police said it appeared Wright had given birth shortly before tossing the baby.
She was also being treated at Brooklyn Hospital on Monday and it was unclear when her arraignment would take place.
"The garbage probably saved that baby's life," said longtime resident Deborah Lewis, 61 who added that Wright lived with her mother and other relatives in the building.
Police said she was hiding the pregnancy.

Lewis added: "It's a shame because she's a very sweet child. She was probably scared to death."

Administration for Children's Services spokeswoman Elysia Murphy said the agency was investigating along with police.
