Babies abondoned on the street (POLL)

posted 26th Jun '12
There is an increase of abandoned babies in Europe over the past 10 years left in the streets. A solution called the baby box was created for a secure way to abandon babies instead of on the streets.

> Advocates of the baby boxes says it's better for the mothers who want to leave their babies behind at least leave them in a heated box instead of the cold unsecured areas.
> Others find it an inhuman solution.

What it looks like:


Poll is a disagree or agree or undecided on your feelings about it but feel free to D&D the matter

My god. What's wrong with just dropping the baby off at a hospital or church?

To me it seems much easier to walk into a fire station, police station or a hospital and hand over the child with no questions asked. I think the box looks like a coffin.

I would have to say this is better then women dumping them in trash cans  
But the option probably won't make them use them anymore then what they would before, sadly.

I understand that it may not be the best solution but how would somebody think it's worse than leaving a baby out in the freezing streets? I think it is better than nothing for damn sure.

People check the boxes a lot, right?

I don't see a problem with it if it would save a life.

Churches have been doing a version of this for hundreds and hundreds of years.

I think it's a hell of a lot better than a dumpster or the steps of a church.

Quoting Ravey Candyass:" My god. What's wrong with just dropping the baby off at a hospital or church?"

Or a police or fire station.

Maybe they feel guilty? I'm not sure I have never just left my child somewhere so I wouldn't know how they feel exactly.

What's the issue if it means the difference between life and death for a baby?

Its a great idea.

I watched a documentary about this one in south africa.. it bought tears to my eyes but mothers who can't provide etc are able to know that their babies are being fed/taken care of.
