SAN BERNARDINO (AP) -- A San Bernardino teen mother is scheduled to be arraigned today on attempted murder and child abuse charges after her baby daughter was found in a trash can.
Prosecutors say 17-year-old Annette Soto is being charged as an adult in connection with life-threatening injuries to her two-month-old daughter Juliet.
Soto could face 18 years to life in prison if convicted.
Soto was arrested Tuesday after her mother called 911 to report the infant missing. Police found the girl minutes later wrapped in a blanket and lying face-down on top of debris in a neighbor's trash can.
Prosecutors say the infant suffered life-threatening injuries in separate abusive incidents that occurred over the last several days -- including skull fractures bruising to her face and a broken arm.
The baby is expected to survive
