Workers Rescue Flushed Baby The woman told law enforcement that she had no intention of killing her child. She simply could not afford an abortion and secretly delivered on Saturday while on the toilet. She attempted to catch the baby, but claims he slipped through the sewer line and the mother immediately alerted her landlord to the situation. Zhezhong News said the mother is a high school graduate and works at a restaurant in the Zhejiang province city of Jinhua. This same report says the woman got pregnant via a one-night stand and the father never took responsibility. She never admitted the pregnancy to her parents and hoped to raise the child alone, despite a lack of funds and resources. It's unclear what will now happen to the baby, who fractured his skull in the incident and who weighs 6 pounds, 2 ounces. He has a low heart rate, but is expected to make a full recovery.
