There Is A Baby In The Trash

The news about babies being abondend by mothers are very saddening. I thought news programs should stop broadcasting things like that. Think of it, it just encourage other moms to leave and abandon their babies. You can imagine how they would think when they see a news about abandoning their babies. They would think that since someone have done it, it’s not that difficult to leave a baby. But then again, if this kind of news are not brought to public awareness, how will we know that these kind of activities are rampant. How will our policy maker knows they need to act about this?

And with that, I will no longer condemn news stations for bringing up news like this. We need to know. And we need to act. The government should act. For one, they should sought the root cause of this. Why mothers will come to a point of leaving their babies behind? Is it lack of support? Economic support? Shame? They also need to strengthen their program with regards to women, their rights and their protection.

I am telling that it is the government’s fault why some mothers resorted to that kind of action. Each one is responsible for their action, but then again, we cannot deny the fact that the most reason why moms would do such a thing is due to poverty.
