In China there are some really heinous rules about having only one child and if you're a single mum, its near to impossible to register the infant. I'm not for an instant condoning what she did, but she may have felt it too hard to do anything else. I hope she gets the help she needs. The one-child policy also needs to be looked at. This story went global. Broke my heart to see him being in the pipe, but what a little fighter! I hope he gets the love and support now, which will not deem him to be known as the sewer pipe baby for the rest of his life.
