A 10-month-old baby had to be rushed to hospital with his body covered in needle marks after he was allegedly stabbed hundreds of times by his abusive mother.

The infant’s plight sparked a wave of outrage online.

A video telling of the child’s treatment was posted online recently by an online viewer known as “Spine Surgeon Dr Sui Wenyuan”.

The poster is an attending doctor at the Spine Centre of Xinhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.

In the video, Sui recounts the horrific case he encountered during a paediatric consultation.

On December 16, 2025, a 10-month-old baby boy was admitted to the Paediatrics Department of the People’s Hospital of Mojiang County in Pu’er, Yunnan province, in southwestern China with a fever and convulsions.
