Baby in China Born with Second Face


Children born with facial deformities are always a sad tale. One such example is Kangkang, a boy born with a transverse facial cleft. The child looks like he is literally wearing a mask, due in part to a massive cleft that extends almost all the way up to his ears. Unable to see her son upon birth, the unfortunate mother pleaded and pleaded with her husband to see the newborn. After finally be handed the child, she broke down into tears.



No one knows what causes this unfortunate condition, though theories abound. It could be caused by an infection, or even frequent drug use by the mother. According to one source, the only drugs the mother took while pregnant were prescribed anti-abortion agents her doctors prescribed. Sadly, this condition is incredibly expensive to treat, as Yi learned when she took Kangkang at 20-days old to a hospital in Changsha. Thankfully, there is a happy ending, as Kangkang’s family has managed to gather enough money for treatment. See video below..
