Father arrested for attempting to kill his intersex baby

Fri 24 Jun 2016 In: International News View at Wayback

The father of an intersex baby has been arrested for attempted murder after trying to kill his baby three times. According to China Daily, the father says he tried to kill his child as “he is neither a boy nor a girl’ but a ‘monster’”. The grandfather was also arrested for kidnapping and abandoning the baby after his son did not go through with the murder. "When I heard my son cry, I was in pain. My wife cried and I gave up,” said the father of the baby. The mother of the baby Yang Xiaoqing said “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.” She went on to say that she worries about the discrimination her baby may face when they grow up "We are in a difficult situation. My husband was locked up, my parents have health issues and the two children need someone to take care of them. But what I worry about most is that my son may suffer discrimination when he grows up," Yang said.
