    As bad as that is, they're lucky that was a pvc pipe & not something like a cast iron pipe.

  • Judging from the size of it, it is not a full term baby so no telling how often it happens. In fact at that size, I'm surprised it survived "birth" at all. Looks like a botched abortion attempt.

    • Yikes! That was completely deplorable and unacceptable!

      But what frightens me the most is the parents. If they have no regard for their own child's life, born of their own flesh and blood, but see it as sewage to be flushed to death for their convenience, then no one they encounter is safe if they deem that life to be inconvenient sewage to their plan or life either. Unless of course, they're cowards and only try to kill babies.

      Either way, I think they should be locked up for life and only allowed to leave prison for their day job which would be working in a sewage plant where they have to wade through the sludge all day long!!!

  • There is more information coming out of this case from the Chinese press. The mother is a 22 year old unmarried women who tried to hide her pregnancy. She said that she unexpected gave birth while in squat toilet with a large hole. She then told her landlord about strange noises in the toilet who then called the police. She was present all throughout the rescue effort. It seems unlikely that she will face charges of attempted murder as first reported.

    It is unclear whether the social services will hand the baby back to her. A lot of adoption offers have been received in the meantime.

  • This news simply made me sad and angry.

    This is not acceptable; whoever is responsible for this deserves to be in prison for life. I am glad the baby survived.

    • It seems that they have just released the baby to the mother and the mother will not be charged.
