A MAN searching through a bin was stunned to discover a premature baby boy that had been abandoned because his parents feared he would have poor health throughout his life.
The unidentified man was looking for valuables in the bin in the Chinese city of Chongqing and found the tot dumped among the rubbish.
He took the baby to a nearby hospital and doctors there were able to track down the parents.
Horrifyingly, the mum and dad admitted the dumped the blameless boy because they were worried he would be sickly throughout his life after weighing only 3 pounds after being born at around 30 weeks, reports qq.com.
The couple told a reporter from Sohu: “We were afraid he [the baby] wouldn’t live long because he was born prematurely.
“We didn’t think carefully before throwing him in the rubbish bin.”
The parents told the police they regretted their horrendous choice and promised to care for the baby.
