DOCTORS in southern China will remove six sewing needles in a baby boy's body.
BEIJING -- A 1-year-old boy in southern China is about to have surgery after doctors found he had six sewing needles in his body.
Newspapers report the parents took the baby to a hospital because he had been crying for several days and not eating well.
The child's parents, who are migrant workers, said they had no idea how the needles ended up in their son.
The Beijing Youth Daily ran a color photo of an X-ray showing five needles throughout the boy's torso. The Beijing Morning Post had X-ray closeups including one that showed a needle that had apparently been pushed through the top of the child's head.
The photographs showed the needles completely embedded inside the boy.
The parents said no strangers have come into contact with him.

The first article I couldn’t post from due to copyright rules.
I choose another source; but forgot to change the title:
“Doctors In China Find 6 Needles Inside Baby”
Correct title of this article.

Does Accupuncture use sewing needles?
Would make sense.

The needles probably came from the "take your child to work" day. Mom works in a shirt factory and "Voila"!

No, accupuncture is supposed to use a special needle. But, anything can happen.

Check the parents. I bet it is genetic. The kid was born with them.

Sounds like the mark of a little sibling, but in China that doesn’t happen either these days.

More like a botched abortion. I remember reading about this same thing discovered somewhere in Europe. Child had lived for many years before they were discovered, too.
Wonder if the poor people are aware of the eyes of the whole world on their actions?

That’s what I’m thinking. The parents DO have an idea.
