Japan has drop box for unwanted babies - Yahoo! News

that is seriously a fuct up thing to have but its better than abandoning the child on the street somewhere or even worse...

Ugh...that shit is depressing.

I don't see how the drop off thing is bad....some women just can't take care of a baby or are unfit to raise it.

 

[Darkstar]

Dont get me wrong...the "drop off box" is a good plan...it saves children.

But the concept and the reason behind it...the idea that there are people that are responsible for the need of such a thing....just disturbing.

Man, I have no idea how I feel about that...overall I guess it's a good idea...

I don't think its strange that their are moms that aren't in the position to raise a child. if anything they have the child's best interest by dropping it off.

umm people we have that here too, Im not sure what the law is called right now but a mother can drop off her baby in any ER something like 48 hours within giving birth and suffer no consequence for doing so

crazyness

Wow, its pathetic that we have come to that level.

it's called the safe haven law in the US, i think every state has it's own grace period though, here in AZ it's 2 months. I'm not appalled by it but i do find it sad. it's better than finding dead babies in dumpsters or shaken baby syndrome.

Baby drop-box/hatch are very common in churches across Europe, and I think more places could do well to follow the example of European churches, and the Japanese hospital. It's sad that it has to be this way, but better this than leave the babies somewhere to starve or freeze to death. I'd much rather see a baby in a drop-box with an attending staff than a dumpster.

Pony, is right we do have that here in our society. Here we call it safe baby. I would much rather see a baby safe and have someone take care of it rather than a mother who can't. I also commend the mothers that realize that they aren't able to take care of a baby and turn them in to places like this. I do not commend them if they don't do something about protection and just keep having babies for the sake of having them.

that just seems so wrong...what are babies worth to people?? They are seem to be treating them like animals taking them to the aspca

 

[elluko]

Those poor children. The only reason that I like the drop off box system is because its better than abortion.

You also have to take into account that some mothers aren't just fit to take care of the child in their current situation, and they know it. Yeah, its sad, but in the end its for the child's own good.

I agree with AIF if these people are irresponsible enough to have an unwanted prregnancy at least they make the responsible decision to give it up ( as unideal as that situation is) and make it possible for that child to have a family that really wants a baby, after all there are so many people out there waiting for babies out there that that cant have children of their own.
