A Chinese woman tried to mail her newborn baby to an orphanage. The 24-year-old wrapped the infant girl in several black plastic bags. She refused to let a courier man inspect the contents of her package when he arrived to pick it up, the CNN reported.
The courier man became suspicious when he detected movement and heard noises coming from inside the package. When he opened it he was shocked to find the baby.
The mother was in police custody for suspected child abandonment as investigations continue, while the baby is currently in a stable condition at a hospital.
According to Chinese woman, people abandoning children can be jailed for up to five years. The incident has outraged internet users. “Her parents should be punished...the baby should be sent to the orphanage who will find parents to adopt her,” one wrote.
