Zhejiang, mother of newborn saved from sewer pipe "confesses"
Beijing (AsiaNews / Agencies) - The mother of the newborn baby boy who was rescued from being trapped in a sewer pipe by firefighters is a 22 year old single woman. She was the one who raised the alarm of the presence of a child in the pipeline with her landlady, and followed the firefighters rescue operation as they cut the tube and brought it to hospital to free the infant who was still alive.
The woman confessed to being the mother of the baby only two days
later when police asked her to undergo a medical test, after finding some toys in her room and toilet paper stained with blood.
The girl confessed to having hidden her pregnancy because
she could not afford an abortion. She told police that the
baby slipped down the toilet at the time of delivery.
It is unclear whether she will be prosecuted for attempted murder.
The news
and the video of the rescue of
the little one have gone viral globally and has attracted a lot of criticism, but also compassion in
China. Jinhua Hospital has been inundated with people bringing gifts and necessities for the
baby including milk powder, diapers, clothes for babies.
So far he has no name, just a number, "
Child No. 59", and his condition
is stable.
