Instead, plumbers at a clinic in the Indian state of Kerala on Friday made a ghastly discovery: A 2-day-old baby had been flushed down the toilet, with her placenta still intact. Abdul Rehman, a doctor who runs the clinic, told local reporters that he called for help when the toilet stopped working. But the baby’s placenta was intact and there was blood inside the commode,” police told the News Minute. In 2013, a baby in China was flushed down a toilet but survived. The mother told police she did not intend to flush her baby down the toilet.
