A few days ago a baby boy was found in a sewer pipeline of
an apartment complex in China. The baby was believed to be a couple days old
and until now, there were many conspiracies as to how the baby got to be in the
pipes and where the parents were. However, after an extensive rescue which included
having to walk down one floor underground to cut the pipe free and then
performing a two hour “surgery” in which they had to cut the pipe with a saw
and pliers to free the baby. The child’s mother was later found by the police.
She claimed that she was unable to afford an abortion and hid her pregnancy
during its entire duration. She claimed that she had plans for raising the baby
and it was accidental the baby fell into the pipe as she gave birth in a toilet.
She is also the one believed to have let the authorities know about the baby
being stuck in the pipe. All of this being said, what is your opinion on this?
Do you believe her story? Is it the mothers fault that the baby was stuck? Should
she have done more to protect the baby? Should the mother be tried for
attempted homicide?

ReplyDeleteI feel really bad for the child that was stuck in a sewer pipe. It was the mother’s fault that the baby was stuck there anyway. Unfortunately, in countries like China it is illegal for mothers to abort their babies and a majority of babies end up in adoption centers either because of economic reasons or whether the baby is a boy or a girl . There really wasn’t anything the mother could have done to help the baby, she stated that she could not afford having an abortion. The mother should have the baby in a bathtub instead of a toilet. The mother could have also offered the baby to tourist that could potentially take care for the baby. I think the mother should be tried for attempted homicide because it seems like she wanted to get rid of the baby. She should also get tried for not being a good mother.
ReplyDeleteI do not believe this mothers story at all. I do understand though that she couldn't afford to have an abortion since China is such a strict country with child birth. The mother could have thought this out a lot better if she didn't want to baby. She could have given the baby to an adoption center or she could have given birth to the baby in another place besides the toilet. The reason I don't believe her story is because there's no way that the baby got in the pipe without the parent flushing the toilet. She simply thought that this was an easy way out to get rid of the baby. I feel as though she should be tried for attempted homicide because she did commit a crime and she obviously killed her baby on purpose.
