Woman squats, squirts baby down the loo

A newborn baby boy lodged in a sewage pipe directly beneath a toilet has been rescued by firefighters in eastern China.


Suggestions that the child had been dumped have been revised after it emerged that the 22-year-old unmarried mother of the baby was the one who raised the alarm.


According to a police source in Jinhua, in the eastern province of Zhejiang, the woman gave birth unexpectedly when she went to the lavatory on Saturday, and the newborn fell into the squat toilet.

Well, I read a book in which some guy interviewed a Chinese bathroom manager (it was a book with various interviews from people in China "on the bottom rungs of society"), and he claimed that it was actually not unheard of to find fetuses that had been dumped into a public toilet. Of course, this was a "toilet" only a broad sense, it was a hole in the ground that some guy came and emptied every now and again. And most Chinese back then did not have toilets, so the only way to deal with waste was to collect it and, every now and again, head to the public toilet to dump it out. Actually, this was probably one of those toilets, a child obviously wouldn't fit in a flush toilet.

Whatever it was they took the baby out of was 3" round.
