A mother abandoned her newborn baby on the street in China. The little girl is blonde. The white-haired Chinese baby was discovered by a passer-by on a street corner in Nanning, Guangxi Province. The woman who found the child heard a cry and made the shocking discovery.
I was walking to work and heard cries from a wrapped-up quilt in the corner' she said. 'By opening it I found a baby crying very sadly.' Police found a bag of baby clothes besides the quilt and an envelope containing 3,900 Yuan, about £390.
On the envelope the mother had written: 'I hope warm-hearted people can help to send the baby to the orphanage house. Wish you all the best. 'My dear baby I am an irresponsible mother and an incapable mother. I am sorry.' Police suspect but have not confirmed that the mother dumped her child because of the baby's white hair.

She may have been given up because she was a girl or because her mother could not afford the fine for keeping her. Most Chinese families are allowed only one child to reduce the 1.3 billion-plus population and cut unsustainable demand on resources. Many children, mostly girls, are abandoned because of the policy.
The policy also leads to an estimated 13 million abortions every year, with many of those ordered by local authorities. Infanticide is also widespread in many rural areas. Those who violate the one child law can be fined up to £25,000.
