GLENDALE — A 19-year-old Van Nuys woman was charged Tuesday with attempted murder for allegedly trying to flush down a toilet the baby she gave birth to during an interview for a baby-sitting job.
Glendale Police Sgt. Fran Judge said Maria Velasquez gave birth to the premature baby Saturday night in the bathroom of an apartment in the 400 block of East Dryden Street, where she was being interviewed for the job. The apartment residents rescued the infant boy and called police, Judge said.
