Female newborn who was rescued on Sunday, August 2, 2015, in Beijing, China, from a toilet is now in stable condition.The Police are searching for the mother of the newborn baby girl found wedged face-down in toilet.Residents heard cries from a public toilet block and notified police, according to the Beijing Times.“Her head was upside down and her body was falling into the drain. We could only vaguely see her feet from the side,” Qian Feng, the local police chief told the paper.Qian said initially police decided to dismantle the toilet as the drain structure was unclear, but that would take too long.An image supplied by Beijing Tianqiao Police shows an officer holding the baby at the toilet on August 2, 2015.“She just kept crying. I looked again, and thought we should try to pull her out even if the possibility might be slim.”In a police video taken during the rescue, Qian is seen kneeling by the toilet, reaching his right hand into the drain.“There is a right-angled pipe inside the train, and the baby was almost trapped in the horizontal pipe,” Qian told theBeijing Times.After being pulled safely out of the pipe, residents helped police wrap the baby up before she was sent to a nearby hospital.As of Monday night, she was in a stable condition, the newspaper said. It added that she had no apparent physical defects.There are more than 100,000 abandoned children in China.Most abandoned babies suffer a range of disabilities or medical conditions like Down syndrome, cerebral palsy or cleft lip.
