Cleveland Police say they made the discovery May 20 after a caller said that their daughter had recently given birth and "threw the babies in the garbage."
The caller also said that their daughter hadn't realized she was pregnant, according to a police report.
Officers took a 16-year-old girl, believed to be the children's mother, into custody. She was brought to the hospital, but her condition is unknown.
She's charged with involuntary manslaughter, child endangering, evidence tampering, and gross abuse of a corpse.
A cause of death for the infants has not been released.
