SHOCKING Sisters Raised By Rats In Sewers Rescued By Police In Shanghai

The Shanghai Police Department confirmed this morning, that they had found a pair of young girls living in the city sewers. The girls who have been proven to be sisters, appear to have been abandoned many years ago and raised by a group of rats.

The siblings were first spotted two weeks ago, by some city workers who were inspecting the sewer system. The group of four men claimed to have seen two young girls, almost unclad, running around and scavenging trash in the sewer tunnels. According to the workers, the girls seemed to be followed by a large swarm of rats, possibly formed by thousands of individuals. The two girls were spotted again yesterday, scavenging for food in a public garbage dump.

Officers of the Shanghai Police Department were rapidly mobilized on the site, and they were able to capture them, after shooting them with tranquilizer darts.

The girls were taken to the Renji Hospital, where they will receive medical care and undergo a complete medical examination. According to Dr. Wu Jieng Lao, who examined them upon their arrival at the hospital, the girls are twins, and believed to be aged between 8 and 10 years old. They are extremely thin and show signs of severe malnutrition, but they are surprisingly healthy considering their previous living conditions.
