                      Chinese Newborn Found in Sewage Pipe

   by VOA News

   A newborn baby boy was rescued from a sewage pipe in a Chinese
   apartment building after being flushed down a toilet.
   Chinese officials said residents in Jinhua, in the eastern province of
   Zhejiang, called firefighters after hearing the two-day-old baby crying
   in the fourth-floor lavatory.
   When attempts to pull him out failed, rescuer workers sawed away a
   section of the 10-centimeter diameter pipe with the baby inside.
   Firefighters and doctors took the tube apart piece by piece and finally
   recovered the newborn.
   State media said the 2.3-kilogram baby was stuck in the pipe for at
   least two hours.
   Police are still looking for his parents.
   Chinese families traditionally have a preference for sons, but babies
   born out of wedlock are sometimes abandoned because of social and
   financial pressures.
