Lakeshore woman arrested after leaving autistic teenager at SA-area dumpster

A 38-year-old Bandera County woman is facing charges of endangering and abandoning a child without intent to return.

A Bexar County affidavit says Natalie Rose Munno was seen on surveillance footage June 13 at a coffee shop in San Antonio taking her 15-year-old autistic, nonverbal daughter out of a car, walking her into a dumpster area, and closing the metal doors of the area with the girl inside.

The teenager was discovered by a coffee shop employee hours later. She was admitted to the hospital for multiple days with dehydration and a bruised hand.
