A two days old kitten flushed down the toilet

I know, I know, it's not about dogs. BUT, it is a story that will make you smile. Well, it's end will.
Two days-old kitten

When her mother, Ammie Crofts, asked 3 years old where was the kitten, little Alannah Merleto, of Syndey, Australia, answered : "Down the toilet". The mother was immediately worried because her daughter have a history of flushing things down the drain.

After looking for the kitten everywhere, the family heard tiny cries coming from the pipes, under the house. The family called the fire department, and eight of them came to the rescue of the little kitten. Using a camera on a 80 feets long chord, they were able to see the kitten on a small monitor.

What the camera saw
Thankfully, one of the fireman was once a plumber and was able to direct his coworker as to where and how
to go to save the kitten. After four hours, they retrieved a tiny kitten, scared but alive.

The kitten is named Cain, after the fireman that lead the rescue operation.

I am afraid to say that, the moral of this story is.... not everything is good to be flushed? and... Check what your children are flushing?
