Eight-month-old boy pictured above would have lost his life after
been stabbed 90 times by his mother with a scissors, mostly in the face, simply because he bit her while she was breastfeeding him.
The baby identified as Xiao Bao needed more than 100 stitches after the incident in Xuzhou, eastern China’s Jiangsu Province.
The infant lives with his mother and two uncles, who make a living recycling rubbish. It was one of the uncles who discovered Xiao Bao lying in a pool of blood in the yard of their home and rushed him to hospital.

His mother later confessed that she stabbed the baby after he bit her during breastfeeding.
Neighbours have pleaded with the local government to take the baby away, but they have said that they will not.
Apparently, they said that there was no confirmation the mother was suffering from a mental illness and said, regardless, the baby still has two guardians in the form of his two uncles

Mental illness remains a relatively closed topic in modern China, and
neither medication nor modern psychiatric treatment is widely used.
An analysis of mental health issues in four Chinese provinces, published in 2009 in the British medical journal The Lancet, estimated that 91 per cent of the 173million Chinese adults that were believed to suffer mental problems never receive professional help.
