Shocking thing to do to a newborn... happy end to the story thankfully.

Baby Number 59... I predict a Punisher style future for him, going around taking revenge on baby flushers all over China.

What the hell is wrong with some people!!!

Way too common in China where babies are abandoned in the hope they die.

Thats probably one of the most upsetting things Ive ever seen and I thought I was fairly numb to the horrors on the news at this stage

poor little thing how anyone could do that is beyond me. You dont want your baby no problem leave it outside a hospital were it will be looked after there is no excuse to do something so horrific to a newborn baby.

The poor little mite

Not a happy end for him yet though, he may end up in an orphange like so many others.

I'm so grateful to have been born in Ireland.

heartbreaking, thankfully a happy ending .

Poor little fella, it's tough to read about such things - especially since having my own little lad.

Also here's another shocking video from China not about a child but really sums up a lot that's wrong with China.

“Police are treating the case as an attempted homicide, and are looking for the mother ”

“the boy would be handed over to social services if his parents do not show up to claim him”

Somehow I can't see the parents turning up to claim him.

It shows the One Child policy and the inhumanity it causes. They simply cannot afford this child in any circumstance.

I really don't think his parents should be let anywhere near him ever again!

It's astounding he survived and hopefully has no serious injuries...

Fecks sake, this is in China - leave it outside a hospital. Newborns die in the gutter in most places in China and nobody blinks an eye. They walk right past.

As for social services - they're probably too busy with forced abortions.

If the baby hadn't been a boy I doubt there'd be half the outrage that there supposedly is in China.

I'd imagine it must be pretty easy to figure out which toilet it was flushed down and thereby locate the mother, unless it was a public toilet.

Poor baby but poor mother too. Unless she is a complete psycho she must have been pretty desperate to do such a thing.

Most of the reports I read said it was the mother who called others to help and the emergency services and was there the whole time. She just didn't identify herself immediately. Impossible to know what is going through her head
