She was a familiar sight to the residents of Baiyun district in Guangzhou, China.
For the past few months, the mentally unsound and homeless woman had been seen haplessly wandering around the Longgui Food Market, with a big belly that indicated that she was pregnant.
The residents were recently shocked by what they found.
With the umbilical cord still attached, she appeared out of an alley next to the food market carrying a filthy little infant.
According to residents, she appeared mentally unsound, but refused hospital assistance.
Beijing Shots reported that she even walked nearly 6km carrying her newborn baby.
She later used scissors to sever the cord, leaving it strewn on the road in front of the market.
Since the birth of the infant, she neglected to clothe him.
When thirsty, she simply left the naked infant on the muddy ground whilst she collected water from a roadside ditch using a plastic bag.
Whether the child had been fed is also disputable. A hospital worker who tried to persuade her to feed the child was refused.
The woman then took the infant to a public toilet adjacent to the market where she used to live.
