A newborn boy is pictured at a hospital in the Chinese city of Jinhua on
May 28, 2013, after being rescued from a sewer pipe in a residential
building in Zhejiang province.
Babies don’t belong in sewage pipes. That much the online community in
China agrees upon. On May 25, an unwed 22-year-old woman in China’s
eastern Zhejiang province walked into a bathroom and delivered a baby
whose existence she had hidden from the world. The woman had been
hunched over a squat toilet and her newborn boy slipped into the sewage
pipe below, according to local journalist Dong Qi. Although the new
mother used a mop to try to dislodge the baby, he was wedged into a
channel 4 in. (10 cm) wide, says Dong, whose information comes from the
local police chief in Pujiang county. Panicked, she tried to cover up
what happened, splashing water to wash away the blood. She then informed
someone in the building that something was wrong with the toilet.
