Rescuers save a newborn from sewer pipe beneath public restroom in China

BEIJING – A newborn boy is recovering in a Chinese hospital after being rescued from a sewage pipe below a squat toilet by firefighters, who sawed off an L-shaped section and then delicately dismantled it to free the trapped baby.

A tenant heard the baby's cries in the public restroom of a residential building in Zhejiang province in eastern China on Saturday and notified authorities, according to the state-run news site Zhejiang News. A video of the two-hour rescue that followed was broadcast widely on Chinese news programs and websites late Monday and Tuesday.

The child — named Baby No. 59 from the number of his hospital incubator — was reported safe in a nearby hospital, and news of the rescue prompted an outpouring from strangers who came to the hospital with diapers, baby clothes, powdered milk and offers to adopt the child.

The baby weighed 2.8 kilograms (6.2 pounds) and still had his placenta attached to his body, reports said. His heart rate was low and there were grazes on his head and limbs, but he was largely unscathed, according to Zhejiang Online, the province's official news portal.

It was not immediately clear how the baby ended up in the toilet, but police said they were treating the case as an attempted homicide. The Pujiang county police bureau said on its official microblog account that the boy's mother has been located and that an investigation is ongoing, but gave no further details.

A duty officer at the Pujiang Public Security Bureau reached by phone late Tuesday said he had no information and that staffers involved in the investigation had left for the day.

On China's popular Twitter-like microblogs, some users expressed pity for the child and horror at his ordeal. Most bloggers speculated that the child had been abandoned and dumped by his parents down the toilet.

The landlord of the building in Pujiang county told Zhejiang News that it was unlikely the birth took place in the restroom because there was no evidence of blood and she was not aware of any recent pregnancies among her tenants.

The baby was stuck in an L-shaped portion of the sewage pipe with a diameter of about 10 centimeters (3 inches).

The video shows rescuers sawing off a section of the pipe along a ceiling that apparently was just below the restroom. The rescuers then rushed that section of pipe to a hospital, where firefighters and medics alternately used pliers and saws to rip apart the pipe and free the baby.

Despites the offers to adopt Baby No. 59, a doctor at the hospital said the boy would be handed over to social services if his parents did not claim him, Zhejiang News said.

In China, reports of babies being abandoned are common and fuel public anger against a strict one-child policy that imposes huge fines on parents who violate the rules. The policy has been blamed as a factor causing parents to abandon unwanted children, though they are usually baby girls whose parents want sons due to a traditional preference for male heirs.

Ain't that the shits !

Heres the link ,you can watch the video of them removing the baby. Friggin incredible.

Glad the lil squirt survived.

I thought the Chinese only flushed girls.

Not sure what his name is Jackie Friggin Chan

tough kid!

:rockon: lil dude!

I thought gutter babies were a normal thing for China, what's the big deal?

Talk about your whole life going down the crapper !

People do a lot of dumplings in life.

That's pretty shitty.

Different subject, but does it drive anyone else when some asshole says, "We need to flush out the details!?"?

Why can't this ever happen to babies like C.E. Wendler?

stupid parents. they have any idea much that sucker would've netted on the black market?

**** any lame attempt at comedy or bad puns in this thread. Shit like this makes me want to go savage on people

So disgusting.

I like to run these ****s down and give them what they deserve, I just Cantonese as bad as mine.

What else is the investigation turning up? We need to get all the poop we can on these parents!

He is trying to get back to level 3 to get the frog suit.

The next Tim Tebow.

they only saved it cus it was a boy

I mean everyone has heard the old expression "don't throw the baby out with the crap water."

they sawed off an err shaped section to get him out. wow.

My mom tried to flush me but my head was to big.

youtube "Baby Not From Booty"

I'm stunned this wasn't a girl.

I guess if it was a girl, they would have just left her in there.

That's lo, mein.

Mom took the whole "dropping the kids off at the pool" thing seriously I guess

Shaw----- Redemption.

ROR

I see a frush to judgment here

Peoples Vrepublic of China pipe.

HAha Priceless. Good one, dude. *High Five*

Thur ar treacherous people out there, for sure.

5 stars my friend!! F'ing SOLID

Its baffling to me how someone can be so heartless. Though, this and worse usually happens to girls in China on the norm~

Yep !

Just goes to show you that you shouldn't push too hard when trying to dislodge that turtlehead...

People on here evidently have empathy for someone who lost a cat, but not a human child found in a toilet. Some day some of these people MIGHT grow up, have a kid and than realize this stuff really just isn't very funny.

Wait.... WHAT?!

Pipe crack baby.

DISGRACEFUL!!!!

And I knew it took place in China before I even opened the thread

Not me. I thought it was going be a Florida thing.. :shrug:



Any ways kid had all his future hopes and dreams flushed down the toilet but was rescued and can now live out his pipe dream.

:LOL:

It is the one child rule, the only surprise is that it was a boy as it is normally girls that are disposed of.

I get that. LMAO it was intended to be a slight on Florida. I mean we have had enough of Florida this year. Can't fault me for that. It's Florida after all.

don't worry, someone down there will get caught flushing a baby soon enough and the people that missed your point will see your post as prophecy instead of trolling. it's florida....we both know it's a matter of "when", not "if"
