My Comment:  This brought tears to my eyes, not because of the mother’s statement, but because of what one of the rescuers did and said.  Pray for this child, God bless those who rescued it.

(CNN) — The mother of a newborn rescued over the weekend from a toilet pipe in China “deeply regrets what she did,” police said Tuesday.

The infant, a baby boy, was saved Saturday in the Chinese city of Jinhua. He remains in the hospital, where he is reported to be in stable condition.

“Local police have found the mother. She deeply regrets what she did. Details of the case are still under investigation,” Jinhua police said on the social media website Weibo.

It was not immediately clear how or why the baby ended up in the toilet.

Police posted images of the infant at the hospital, showing him sleeping in an incubator and being attended to by various nurses.

Dramatic video of his rescue made global headlines and sparked sympathy.

According to police, one of the firefighters involved visited the baby and sent over clothes, formula powder and diapers.

Someone else sent milk bottles and formula, along with a note that read: “Don’t let the baby starve. Let’s pray,” they said.
