A 24-year-old woman named Lou is under police investigation in
Fuzhou, China after she attempted to mail her newborn baby to an
orphanage wrapped in plastic bags.
The baby is currently in a stable condition at a hospital in the
southeastern city. Fuzhou police says she’s in custody for suspected
child abandonment, as investigations continue.
According to reports, Luo placed the baby girl inside several black
plastic bags and then refused to let a courier inspect the contents of
her package when he arrived to pick it up. The courier, already on his
way for delivery, became suspicious when he detected movement and noises
from inside the package and was shocked to find a live baby when he
opened it.
