A family who leaves their own blood to be left to die in the wilderness because of a birth defect deserves the worst punishment on earth. A Chinese newborn was found buried alive in the province of Guangxi and once discovered once farm workers heard a loud wail in the fields. It's reported, but not confirmed, that the poor infant was hanging on to his life in the grave for more than 10 days. After investigation, it was discovered that the baby's family conspired to have the baby "taken care of" since it was born with a cleft palate and a congenital defect. The photos of the rescued baby are unbelievably heartbreaking. He is still bruised and bloody from the monstrous incident.

The baby was born on April 20and released from the hospital four days later. That's reportedly when his family hired a man to get rid of his body forever. The infant's grandmother reportedly paid a man $290 dollars to discard of her own grandson's body because of his birth defects. It's amazing to me that the entire family approved of such a heinous action. The parents, who are met to love and protect their child, even approved of leaving him to die.
On April 24, the hired murderer placed the baby in a cardboard box and left him out in the fields. Two days later, he returned to bury his body. He thought the baby was lifeless, but he was wrong. This resilient angel fought for his life and was saved by local villagers that heard his screams for help. He was found covered in mud and in critical condition. The baby was admitted back into the hospital on May 4. He came into this world weighing a healthy 7.8 pounds and was found only weighting 5.9 pounds.
Five people all together have been arrested and charged for the attempted murder of this miracle newborn. The craziest part to this story is that his parents are out on bail and trying to regain custody of their son. Can you imagine these monsters having another chance to kill their own child? It would be a tragedy in the justice system if these crazies were allowed the privilege to raise this baby. For now, the baby will be placed in social services. My hope is that he finds a loving and peaceful family he is worthy of.
