Chinese baby, rescued from toilet, is released to grandparents

The  newborn baby boy who was found alive inside a toilet pipe in Jinhua, China, has been released from hospital and taken home by his maternal grandparents.

The child's mother is still being treated at the hospital. The gist i initially heard about this story was that the mother of the baby who is 22 years old tried flushing the baby in the toilet. Apparently that wasn't what happened as the mother of the baby had stomach aches and she went to the toilet. It was actually close to her due date and the baby just slid out. 

The police said she tried to retrieve the baby with a stick, then decided to flush the toilet to clear away the blood.

But thank goodness the baby boy was saved by rescuers who went to the floor below and sawed away a section of pipe. But the baby was still stuck, so both the section of pipe and the infant were taken to a hospital. Working together, rescuers and doctors began removing the pipe, piece by piece. 

No charges have been filed against the mother.Already the baby is drinking formula. The firefighters and other rescuers involved visited the baby at the hospital  and sent clothes, formula powder and diapers.
