Story out of Beijing, China:
A man in China has been arrested for trying to kill his child three times after he came to know the newborn was an intersex baby - born with both male and female genitals. After the child was found to be an intersex baby, his father and grandfather attempted to kill the child three times before the mother contacted authorities, the police said. The father was detained and the grandfather was released pending trial, state-run China Daily reported. The baby was born on May 13 in Anyang in Henan province.
"We thought we would have a girl. But soon we were told the 'girl' is actually a boy, with an atrophic sex organ. We panicked and got concerned," the mother, Yang Xiaoqing said, adding that her husband attempted to smother the baby because "he is neither a boy nor a girl", but a "monster".
The father at first attempted to cover the baby's face with a wet towel. Yang heard the baby's crying and stopped her husband. The police said they later discovered the baby's grandfather had abandoned him outside the village.
"After he was found, he did not eat for 12 hours. I was holding the baby. My heart is broken. He may be a monster to others, but to me, he is and will always be my sweetest baby," the mother said. The couple also have a daughter. (Lucky her) Cont.
