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.

'I Left My Husband For Him, But He Didn't Return The Favor'

Sometimes we screw up, but we have to find happiness and strength within to get back up again. If someone had walked up to me and told me a year ago I would be a 30-year-old single mom with two kids, I would have looked at them like they were batshit crazy. A year ago, I was THAT mom -- the one who seemed to have it all together, who had it all in some ways: two beautiful boys, a nice home, a good man and father to our kids. I cooked the meals and coordinated professional family photos, planned vacations, sent out Christmas cards, etc. I had a rigid schedule but made time to run and managed to be in decent physical shape. But something was missing. In my marriage, I felt alone. Why wasn't I happy? I met my ex when I was seventeen. He was four years older than me and I was smitten. He had a job, a truck, and a house. He had it all together. We got along great so dating him while I was in college seemed like the right thing to do. And of course, after college the next step w...
