Disturbing decal: School official Cyndee Garcia shows off a sticker that will soon be placed in various locations in Orosi, Calif., in hope of dissuading mothers from abandoning their babies. Three newborns, all genetically linked to the same mother, have been left in the same neighborhood in the last few years. The most recent one, a girl, died.
