The Orangeburg Department of Public Safety stated that university employees were disposing of trash collected from a dormitory when they heard the sound of a baby crying coming from the dumpster on Goff Avenue , reported The Tand D.

However, as they looked into the bin , they were shocked to see a newborn baby stuffed inside the trash bag and was wearing nothing . The university employees tore open the plastic sack so the child , a full term baby boy weighing 5 lbs 7 ounces , could draw a breath.



The Claflin staffers immediately contacted campus security and called for medical help.

Fulton’s arrest warrant states that after delivering the boy , the college student placed him in a plastic bag , then stuffed it into a larger black trash bag , which she tied with a loose knot, and then dumped the bundle containing her son into the dumpster behind the Claflin dining room , Dailymail reported.
