Thank God for his miracles. God sure works in mysterious ways.
A baby boy believed to be just days old was found in a sewer pipe in a bathroom in China last weekend. According to local media, the startling discovery was made on Saturday in Jinhua City, Zhejiang province.
Firefighters were called to an apartment complex where
residents said they could hear the baby’s cries through the pipes. Emergency
crews who arrived on the scene could see the baby’s head far down inside the
toilet duct, but were unable to reach down far enough into the 4-inch in
diameter pipe to pull him out.
Rescuers had to walk down one floor below to cut the pipe
free. After removing the section of pipe containing the baby, firefighters took
him to a nearby hospital where pliers and a saw were used to gently free him.

The child, whose name is unknown, was believed to be just
two days old when he was discovered and initially suffered from a low heart
rate and labored breathing. He had also suffered numerous bruises to his head,
arms and legs.
Rescuers try to reach the trapped infant inside a piece
of the sewage pipe. Doctors at Pujiang People’s Hospital said by telephone that
the baby’s prognosis was good. His heart rate was stabilizing and his breathing
was much smoother, they added.
Staff also reported that the hospital was paying the
boy’s medical bills while donations of clothes, baby formula and other gifts
were coming in from the community. Doctors declined to confirm whether the
baby’s relatives have come forward.
Police in Jinhua City said that they “seemed” to have
found the baby’s parents before refusing to speak further. Police there have
also said that they were treating the investigation as an attempted murder. On
Chinese social media, users expressed their outrage over the incident and
called for the parents to be punished.
“More and more young parents treat their own flesh and
blood so viciously,” wrote one user on China’s Twitter-like service, Weibo.
“Treating a life like this is no different than murder.”
Others though expressed a desire to adopt the young boy.
