Mom says baby in toilet was an accident
A mother in China tells police she tried to save her newborn baby after he got stuck in a sewage pipe. The dramatic rescue of the baby boy was caught on video last Saturday.
Tenants in the apartment building called law enforcement after they heard quiet cries and saw a small foot in the opening of a toilet pipe.
Rescuers feared harming the baby and couldn't pull him free at first, so they sawed off a section of the pipe containing the baby and brought it to a hospital in Jinhua.

Tonight on AC360: Blind Chinese activist describes suffering, escape
In his first in-depth TV interview since arriving in the U.S., Chinese human rights activist Chen Guangcheng talks with Anderson Cooper about his new freedom and why he's worried about the fate of his family and friends he left behind.
His relatives' homes have been broken into and they've been beaten by authorities in Shandong Province in eastern China, said Chen.
"We can see their retribution against my family since my escape has continued and been intensified," he told Cooper.
Still, Chen, 40, said he has no regrets about what he's gone through.
He shared what it was like to enjoy freedom.
”I haven't been able to feel the nature for a long time," Chen said. "On that day I had some time to soak in the sun and feel the breeze. i just felt I hadn't been able to do that in so long. I have missed out for too long."
Chen, his wife and their two children arrived in the United States on Saturday. He will take a fellowship at New York University, where he will study law.
Back on April 22, Chen escaped in the dark of night from more than 18 months in lockdown at his house in Shandong. The daring plot played out like a Hollywood movie - a blind man sneaked past sleeping guards, scaled the wall around his house, injured his foot and hid in a pig sty.
