Abandoned child receiving treatment in Beijing hospital

A baby girl who was abandoned by her parents because she suffered life threatening birth defects is receiving medical treatment in Beijing after being taken by a woman without permission from a Tianjin hospital.

The newborn girl suffers from a congenital defect that blocks the anus, and other problems. Her family abandoned her in a local hospice because her condition cannot be cured.

China Daily has been told that on Friday morning at 2:30 am, a Beijing resident and four friends snuck into Tianjin Children's Hospital and took the child without permission. They sent her to Beijing United Family Hospital, where she is now drinking milk and receiving proper medical treatment.
