Abandoned Newborn Baby Rescued From Public Toilet In China

Beijing police are searching for the mother of a newborn baby girl who was abandoned in a public toilet on Sunday.

According to reports in local media, witnesses heard crying coming from the bathroom in the Chinese capital’s Xicheng District. When police were called to investigate, they found the baby hidden inside the sewer of the squat toilet.

Speaking to People’s Daily, police officer Qian Feng said:

The baby’s head was upside down and the whole body had fallen into the sewer. I could vaguely see the baby’s feet from the side.

Qian was able to reach into the sewer and carefully pull the baby to safety. The girl was taken to a nearby Beijing hospital but, fortunately, she didn’t appear to be injured.

Video stills from the shocking incident show the moment the policeman rescued the girl. Police believe the newborn’s mother gave birth in the facility and then abandoned her.

Sadly, this isn’t an isolated incident – an estimated 10,000 unwanted children are reportedly abandoned in China every year. Although some are dropped off at “baby safety islands” and taken to orphanages, many others are left in public places such as toilets and train stations.

The Earth was formed approximately 4.54 billion years ago and is the only known planet to support life. Planet Profile Mass: 5,972,190,000,000,000 billion kg Equatorial Diameter: 12,756 km Polar Diameter: 12,714 km Equatorial Circumference: 40,030 km Known Moons: 1 Notable Moons: The Moon Orbit Distance: 149,598,262 km (1 AU) Orbit Period: 365.26 Earth days Surface Temperature: -88 to 58°C Size Of The Earth Compared To The Moon Facts About The Earth The Earth’s rotation is gradually slowing: This deceleration is happening almost imperceptibly, at approximately 17 milliseconds per hundred years, although the rate at which it occurs is not perfectly uniform. This has the effect of lengthening our days, but it happens so slowly that it could be as much as 140 million years before the l...

What Is The Largest Number?

Humans have been using numbers for thousands of years. It is believed that the concept of numbers first originated when prehistoric humans began using their fingers to count. This eventually evolved into sign language and then tally marks on objects like sand, walls and sticks. We’ve come a long way. Now we use calculators and computers to count our large numbers. We even have a word for numbers that are without a limit. Sometimes, it seems like the only people who can make sense of it all are the mathematical savants. One reader wanted to know: What is the largest number in mathematics? NOT SO OBVIOUS So what’s the largest number? The answer should be pretty obvious. Infinity, right? But that’s not entirely correct. Infinity in the strictest sense, is not a number at all. It’s a concept. An idea. And a mind bending one at that. Infinity is a concept which means “a quantity without bound or end”. The definition of infinity in mathematics states that no matter how big a nu...
