Abandoned baby
The incident happened in the northern Chinese region of Ningxia, the baby is said to have been in stable condition after being taken to a nearby local hospital for examination. According to reports, a police investigation is ongoing.
The food delivery worker, Hai Yafeng, brought the incident to light. He was on his way home after his lunch break on August 12. He told Pear Video that he heard some noise coming out of the trash bin and was surprised to see a baby crying.
Hai filmed the whole thing and the footage showed how filthy the trash bin was as it was overflowing with bags of rubbish. A faint cry of a baby was heard in the background.
After he dug through the bin, Hai spotted the newborn baby wrapped in a black plastic bag and he immediately called the police. The delivery worker said that the infant looked like it was born an hour or two before the infant was dumped. The umbilical cord was still attached.
Reports say that the abandoned infant has been in stable condition after being taken to a local hospital while the authorities are still tracking down the parents of the baby amid an ongoing investigation.
Meanwhile, MailOnline tried to contact the authorities from Ningxia. This is after another newborn girl was abandoned by her parents in southern China because they wanted to have a son instead.
The newborn baby girl was abandoned by her father next to a filthy trash bin just hours after she was born because the family already had two daughters and they were hoping for a son. The baby was brought to a local welfare center by the police after a street cleaner spotted the baby and called the authorities.
