The 21-year-old young woman suspected of having abandoned her baby in a trash can in Montbrison (Loire) was indicted on Monday for attempted murder.

The child had been discovered Friday morning by a postwoman, alerted by her tears.

The infant, who had just been born, was naked and enclosed in a plastic bag.

His mother had gone to the gendarmerie in the morning to report herself.

But she had been hospitalized because of her psychological state, without having been heard.

She was able to leave the establishment the next day to be placed in custody and then brought before the prosecution on Monday afternoon.

According to the public prosecutor, quoted by

Le Progrès

, the young drug addict woman presents a “complicated life course”.

"She denies having had homicidal intentions on her child," he added.
