A mum was found by nurses trying to devour her baby with her jaw days after he was born. The
shocking cannibalistic attack happened at a hospital in the city of Shenzhen in southern China’s
Guangdong Province, where the woman had been discovered heavily pregnant and in labour on the
street. She had been taken into the hospital and had given birth, and then placed in a ward where
attempts had been made to contact her family as she was left to nurse the child.
However on the woman's third day in hospital, nurse Liu Tianlun had gone into the bedroom to find the young mother biting her son on the arm.
A hospital spokesman said: "It was really shocking, the arm was badly damaged and suffered not only heavy bruising but bleeding as a result of the bite.
"Fortunately, doctors managed to insert something to stop her closing her teeth and then levered her jaws apart.
"After that they gave her a sedative and took the baby to a secure location." An investigation is now going on to decide what prompted the woman's actions and
whether the child should be taken into the care of the authorities.
