A baby has been born with a strange-looking face which forced the mother to abandon it after delivery.
The baby born with a very strange face and body
A mother has abandoned her premature baby girl born at an Indian
city because she looks like an alien. The 28-year-old woman, who refused
to reveal her identity, gave birth to the girl at a government-run
hospital in Patna district of Bihar, in eastern India yesterday.
The shocked parents called the child a curse and refused to accept
her. After she was brought home, the mother refused to hold her in her
arms and feed her.
The mother said: “I have no idea how did this happen. Me and
family are completely devastated. I am in shock as I was really looking
forward to becoming a mother of a healthy child, be it a girl or a boy.”
Doctors believe that the girl wouldn't survive for long as none of
her organs have developed properly and that the probability of survival
of such cases is only one in 10 million, according to The Express.
The rare genetic condition called Harlequin Ichthyosis happens due
to an acute case of malnutrition causing thickening of the skin and
facial deformities. Within hours of the news of the bizarre looking
girl's birth broke, scores of locals flocked to the hospital to have a
glimpse of her.
Doctors were forced to intervene to remove the number of people gathered outside the hospital to see the baby.
