Sewer baby recovers
Description
A true survivor, this baby is recovering inside an incubator in a Chinese hospital after being cut out of an inches thick sewer pipe.
The infant was abandoned in a residential waste duct in Zhejiang province's Jinhua city.
Unable to remove the 2.3 kilogram baby safely, firefighters brought the child to a hospital, where doctors carefully cut away the pipe.
The infant is in healthy condition, say doctors, aside from scrapes to its head, arms and legs.
Residents were still in shock over news days later.
(SOUNDBITE) (Mandarin) 25-YEAR-OLD MOTHER OF 6-MONTH OLD BABY, WU YUNDING, SAYING:
"I feel heartbroken. As a parent, when my child is ill I get very worried. How can someone have the heart to abandon the baby once she has given birth to it. I feel so sad."
China witnesses frequent reports of parents abandoning babies, often shortly after birth.
The issue is attributed to young women unaware they are pregnant, unwanted female children and Chi
