I meant 10 cm not inches, wow! LOL

Got yea, that would be about 4 inches. When a baby is born it doesn't all come out at the same time like fitting in a pipe. That's just crazy.
 
Don't give a damn how many babies are allowed....any mother who would do this crime needs to be executed...even flushed down the toilet herself. Jesus! what are some people thinking when they do something like this?...
 
Remember about the Chinese law that the parents are suppose to have one child, not 2 children. Also there have been babies, even children being kidnapped to find homes for desperate couples who want to adopt a child or children. The real parents are real upset when their child or children being kidnapped and wanted the kidnappers to bring them back. :(

I don't know the purpose of what happened having the mother not knowing that she had a baby down in the toliet without knowing that she was pregnant. It happened to some new mothers not knowing that they were pregnant and thought they were being fat. That was common.

I think the mother was probably did not dawn on her to realize it could be her baby as she might have used the washroom just to pee or poop. It take a while for her to figure that out. If the baby is hers, then she can decide to keep the baby or not. If she is not sure, then there will have her take a DNA test on both of them to see if they are both related to each other. I did not realize in China, that it is common to flush the baby in washrooms. Very interesting. Where is the prenatal clinic when the young women need to get a test for positive pregnancy? :(

No way in the world is having a baby and taking a "poop" at the same time feels the same way.....

She knew she was pregnant. She admitted to hiding the pregnancy by wrapping her stomach and wearing loose clothes.

It wasn't something that just slipped out of her. With the blood and everything she knew she was having the baby. She intentionally flushed that toilet in an attempt to dispose of the baby. I do know know how the Chinese culture veiw an unwed mother. But it did state she was single and hid her pregnancy.
 
No charge against Chinese mother of baby in sewer

BEIJING (AP) — The mother of a Chinese baby boy who was rescued from a sewer pipe beneath a restroom shortly after birth is unlikely to face criminal charges because authorities concluded he fell into the toilet accidentally, local officials and media reports said Thursday.

The baby was released from a hospital to his maternal grandparents late Wednesday, while his 22-year-old mother remains under medical care, the state-run Jinhua Evening News reported, in an account confirmed by a local police official who declined to give his name.

The baby's stunning, two-hour rescue from a pipe underneath a squat toilet in Zhejiang province's Pujiang county captivated the world, prompting both horror and an outpouring of charity on his behalf.

The mother initially raised the alarm about the baby when he got stuck Saturday in a pipe just below a squat toilet in a public restroom of a residential building, but she had cleaned the room of signs of a fresh birth and did not immediately come forward as the mother, officials have been quoted as saying.

She admitted she was the mother two days later when confronted by police who found baby toys and blood-stained tissues in her apartment, the reports said.

Police later concluded that the incident was an accident and that the woman did not initially come forward because she was frightened, but that she later started telling the truth, the Jinhua Evening News and a Pujiang county propaganda official said. The police initially treated the case as a possible attempted homicide, but now are unlikely to file criminal charges, the newspaper and the official said.

A man tracked down by police who is believed to be the baby's father has requested a paternity test and — if the baby is his — is willing to help support the child, said the Pujiang official, who declined to give his name, as is customary among Chinese officials.

Officials have not publicly released the names of anyone connected with the case, which has raised discussion over China's lack of proper education about sex, birthing and contraception in many schools. Unwanted pregnancies have been on the rise because of an increasingly lax attitude toward premarital sex.

Duan Wanjin, a criminal lawyer based in Xi'an, said local police erred in not prosecuting the mother. He said she could be charged with attempted homicide for not immediately calling for help after the newborn became stuck.

"The local police may have considered the woman was still young and did not have any malice, and have come to the decision from the human perspective, but it sends a terrible signal to the public," Duan said.

Sociologist Li Yinhe said the only mistake by the woman was not to immediately admit the baby was hers. "I don't think that's a big deal. After all, the child is safe, and it has a happy ending," Li said. "The Chinese people still lean heavily on the human considerations. Let it be bygones if there's no serious crime."

The woman told police she got pregnant after a brief affair with the man, hid her pregnancy from family and neighbors, and secretly delivered the child Saturday in a rental building's restroom. She said the infant accidentally slipped into the squat toilet and — after cleaning up the scene — raised the alarm.

Firefighters who arrived at the rental building found the infant trapped in an L-shaped section of sewage pipe just below the squat toilet in one of the building's shared restrooms.

In video footage, officials were shown removing the pipe from a ceiling that apparently was just below the restroom and then, at the hospital, using pliers and saws to gently pull apart the pipe, which was about 10 centimeters (3 inches) in diameter.

The baby, who weighed 2.8 kilograms (6 pounds, 3 ounces), had a low heart rate and some minor abrasions on his head and limbs, but was mostly uninjured, according to local reports. The placenta was still attached.
