The newborn baby rescued from a sewage pipe in China has been taken from the hospital by police and its maternal grandparents, officials said today.
The infant has been returned to his family after authorities decided he became trapped because of an accident.
The unnamed mother claimed she fell pregnant following a one night stand - and then the father of the baby boy abandoned her.
The 22-year-old woman said she could not afford an abortion or cope with the stigma of being a single mother.
Now, the man has requested a paternity test and - if the baby is his - is ready to discuss with the woman how to support the child, according to an official in the Pujiang county propaganda office.

Police concluded that the 22-year-old single woman faces no charges, deciding she did not initially step forward because she was frightened, and that she gradually had a change of heart and began to tell the truth, said the official.
Last night, his maternal grandparents and police arrived at Pujiang Hospital to take the baby to a rural location, office director Chen Pandong said.
'The police department and the family member came together. This (was) definitely (done) in accordance with our rules for leaving the hospital,' added Chen.
Chinese media said she went to the shared bathroom in a residential complex when she felt abdominal cramps last Saturday and gave birth.
But she said the baby slipped into the sewer pipe and she was unable to free him.
