Four-week-old twin boys were discovered in the China wilderness after their parents had abandoned them on a scolding hot day, according to a report by Chinese video news outlet Pear Video.
The desertion of the Chinese newborns in woods in Fengqiu, Henan, occurred days after the parents had received around NZ$18,000 through an online fundraiser where the money allegedly would be used to cover the twins' medical bills, Pear Video revealed.
The crying babies were found in the woods around 2pm (local time) on Friday and were taken to Fengqiu People's Hospital by a member of the public.
