Chinese teenage mum dumps baby boy in toilet
A teenage factory girl in China dumped her newborn child in a toilet after giving birth – before going back to work on a shoe production line, the Daily Mail reports.
The baby boy was found in the female toilets of a shoe factory in Wenzhou City by a cleaner, prompting its managers to start searching for the mother.
They found Xiao Ying, 17, working on the production line – but she completely denied giving birth to the child, The People’s Daily Online reported.
It was only when the managers spotted blood on the girl’s shoe that she admitted she was the mother.
CCTV filmed Ying going into the toilets at 8.11am clutching her tummy – and walking slowly back out at 8.13am, only one minute and 49 seconds later.
The teenager said she managed to hid the pregnancy for months because “no-one cared, and no-one asked.”
She said: “I found out I was pregnant four to five months ago. I was experiencing a lot of morning sickness and felt movement in my stomach.
"I didn’t tell my parents because I was afraid of being beaten."
The father of the baby is 18 years old. The couple had planned to get married but didn’t go through with it.
When they broke up Ying – whose surname is Ding – said she didn’t know she was pregnant and she had not been in contact with him, adding she could hardly remember what he looked like.
When asked why she abandoned her baby she said: ‘At the time I had lots of abdominal pain so I went to the toilet.
“When the baby came out I was terrified so I quickly ran to the dormitory, changed my clothes and just wanted to forget the entire incident.”
