A newborn infant has been rescued from a toilet pipe in eastern China after being allegedly flushed down by his parents.
Firefighters plucked the baby boy from a pipe section right under the toilet commode. The pipe was cut away piece by piece to reveal the screaming newborn, who was wedged in tight.

Whomever flushed this baby down the toilet should also be flushed down the same toilet.
Why single out China? I’ll bet in happens somewhere in a US abortion clinic every single day.
Can we expect an international lawsuit from Planned “Parenthood” on behalf of the parents at any time now?
story seems fishy. A viable baby’s head and body is too big to fit down a toilet.
The rest of the story likely has to do with the parents attempt to avoid severe punishment over having more than one child.
If the baby had been a girl, there would probably be no news item.
How can Americans not know what is going on in China with forced abortions and one child policy.
It’s a known fact that China’s entire population will soon and suddenly drop off.
It’s legit...
Oh, and here, from a simple search on Life News:
This ugliness is probably a consequence of China’s tyrannous one-child policy:
“. . . Cases of abandoned babies are common in China with young mothers and strict family planning rules often blamed for the phenomenon. But Saturday’s highly unusual case provoked a furious response on Chinese social media sites. . . On May 22 another child was found in a dustbin in Hebei province, wrapped in a pink cloth and badly bruised. . .”
Baby girl in pink. Nothing to see
Chinese toilets are not like our toilets-— especially away from big modern cities or heavy tourist areas.
What’s disgusting is that these parents China’s Brutal One-Child Policy

LONDON — ZHANG YIMOU, the celebrated film director and arranger of the 2008 Summer Olympics’ opening ceremony in Beijing, was accused last week of being the latest high-profile violator of China’s one-child policy. The People’s Daily, the Communist Party mouthpiece, alleged that Mr. Zhang had fathered seven children with four different women.

The news has ignited an angry online debate, with Internet users condemning the unequal application of a 1979 law that stipulates every couple may have just one child (or two for ethnic minorities and for rural couples whose first child is a girl). The truth is: for the rich, the law is a paper tiger, easily circumvented by paying a “social compensation fee” — a fine of 3 to 10 times a household’s annual income, set by each province’s family planning bureau, or by traveling to Hong Kong, Singapore or even America to give birth.
For the poor, however, the policy is a flesh-and-blood tiger with claws and fangs. In the countryside, where the need for extra hands to help in the fields and the deeply entrenched patriarchal desire for a male heir have created strong resistance to population control measures, the tiger has been merciless.
Village family-planning officers vigilantly chart the menstrual cycle and pelvic-exam results of every woman of childbearing age in their area. If a woman gets pregnant without permission and is unable to pay the often exorbitant fine for violating the policy, she risks being subjected to a forced abortion.
haven’t one ounce of sympathy. The Chinese government kills babies as one of it’s main functions.
How do people on this site, of all places, NOT know this?
from the NYT. Last week, no less:
No. Life to the Chines government is cheap.
Does no one know what is going on over there?
THe blind Chinese dissident?
Does it ring a bell?
I am amazed.
Yes they do.
What is this. Is this some news org trying to take attention away from Gosnell and the Supreme court refusing to hear these cases and the refusal of our baby hating family hating media to turn away from this?
And Freepers are buying this?
Maybe it was a Chinese squat toilet.
It probably happens in all countries that have toilets.
How could any loving mother flush her baby down a toilet?
Or abort it instead. Seems beyond the pale of reason yet rare it is not.
The mother didn’t have the heart to snip its neck.
Do people think these people have nice lives?
Find out what is going on over there.
They live in constant terror of pregnancy and childbirth. THis stuff has been going on for decades.
WHere have people been.
??
It’s a squat toilet, a hole in the floor.
