The remarkable story of the baby who was flushed down a toilet in China shocked the world this week – not least former Chelsea striker Adrian Mutu.
The 34-year-old, who is currently plying his trade for French club Ajaccio, was so affected by the news he planned to adopt the recovering infant.
Unbelievable reports of fire-fighters rescuing the new-born boy from a sewage pipe under a block of flats in Jinhua City, eastern China, flooded the internet and made headlines all over the planet.
Mutu, a father of two, was so upset by the story he immediately made plans to give the baby a new home.
‘I couldn’t figure out how to live, how to eat breakfast when I saw this story,’ he told Romanian TV. ‘That this child lived means he is a special child. Children are the greatest achievement
‘When I saw the baby I said “I must adopt him, he has been sent to me by God.” I’ve never meditated, but when I saw the baby, I thought it was exceptional.’
Mutu’s kind, if slightly strange, offer materialised as it initially appeared that the baby had been unwanted and flushed down the toilet on purpose.
However, thankfully it has since emerged that the whole thing was a tragic accident and thechild has now been returned to its mother who faces no charges.
