Premature baby girl discarded in trash bin with throat cut
At a little past 8 o'clock. on July 23, a rag-collecting scrap-peddling old man found a premature newborn in a trash bin in Anshan, Liaoning province. When the baby girl was found, she was wrapped in two plastic bags with her placenta and umbilical cord still attached and a very deep cut on her throat. At the time she was purple from lack of oxygen. The old man and residents nearby called the police and had the preemie rushed to hospital, where she received an emergency operation. She is still in a critical condition.

The time of the abandonment is estimated at around 8 a.m., as if the baby girl had been dumped earlier, she would have been taken away with other garbage by the garbage truck.
In the maternity/neonatal ward at Anshan Central Hospital, doctors rescued the baby by closing the 5-centimeter (2 inch) long wound, which was so deep that it went down to the windpipe. "The cartilage had already been cut off. It came so close to damaging the membrane of the windpipe," Dr. Wu said, "Half a centimeter deeper, the kid would have died instantly." The cut was even on the edges and was highly likely to be intended. The scar it left will be permanent.
Dr. Li, director of the maternity/newborn ward, said that the baby girl is around 32 to 34 weeks old and weighs only 1.4 kg (3 pounds), "She didn't cry most of the time and only cried a little when she was given an anesthetic shot. Except for the external injury, there is nothing wrong with her, not even with her heart and lung functions." Li said that each of her three serious problems, that is, premature birth, lack of oxygen, and the cut, was enough to kill her, "She was really blessed." But she will still be placed under intensive care to make sure no complication or other life-threatening condition occurs.
While her conditions have stabilized, it is too early to feed her with milk. She will have to depend on glucose for nutrition. The staff members at the local community say the child will be sent to foster care after she is discharged from hospital.
