Mum arrested for trying to mail her baby to an orphanage in plastic bags

 

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.
