babies dumped in river (7)
muchachito: Chinese fishermen find dead babies dumped in river
The bodies of 21 babies, apparently dumped by hospitals, have been found in a river in eastern China.
Fishermen made the grisly discovery yesterday near a bridge in Shandong province.
One man told a local television station: “We noticed that something had been washed up against the bank. At first I thought they must be plastic dolls. But when I got closer I saw they were real babies.”
Another resident gestured to a tiny body wearing only a nappy that lay sprawled on the muddy bank. “I couldn’t believe that they were real, but they were. And as I walked along I saw more and more.”

Initially they saw only eight corpses, but they found more as they scoured the river. Several were in plastic bags. By this morning, the authorities had recovered 21 dead infants.
Eight of the babies had pale green hospital tags around their ankles. These identified three as having been admitted in grave condition to the emergency room of the Jining Medical College Hospital and five as having been cared for in the same hospital. The 13 other bodies had no form of identification.
Another villager said: “The ones in the bags are very small, but look at that baby over there. It must be at least three months old. It measures 60 centimetres long and you can see that it even has hair.”
Some of the babies were jumbled together on the bank in yellow plastic bags stamped with the words “hospital waste".
One girl lay on the bank with her romper suit torn in half and covered in mud.
A villager read the hospital tag taped to one of the corpses. He said: “This is a baby boy. His name is given as Man Hongmei and he was born in April 2009.”
The tag carried his mother’s name and his weight and size at birth.
Furious residents expressed their outrage and complained that the dumping of the bodies risked contaminating their drinking water.
One middle-aged man said: “Whoever did this has no morals.”
Local police and health officials said they had launched an investigation and several staff from the Jining hospital had been suspended.
A local television presenter attacked those responsible. He said: “Where do these babies come from? From which damned hospital?”
In an unusually emotional outburst for Chinese television, he said: “These infants never had a chance to walk on this Earth and that is already their tragedy. But shouldn’t you then dispose of them properly instead of just tossing them out? These people have the hearts of dogs. They are hateful and contemptible.

Geezus....How do people who did this sleep at nite?.....
People are becoming more and more inhuman!
What I found a wee bit disturbing is the villagers who were ticked off about the possibility of their drinking water being contaminated by the dead bodies of the babies. I mean 'Hello!'.
We don't however know how the babies died. So to make the assumption they were thrown away alive might be unfair, however, to just dump them like this no matter the manner of death, is as you people above have said....inhuman. I hope some people get in deep trouble for this.
