    The Baby Hatch

    This sad story on the BBC of the death of an abandoned baby

    BBC News - Newborn boy abandoned in Cwmcarn dies, say police

    prompted me to think of the German Baby Hatch / Babyklappe / Babyfenster where distressed mothers may abandon their infants in the knowledge they will receive immediate care.

    Baby hatch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Should the Baby Hatch be available in every country?
    Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
    he said, 'Don't count calories.'

      Same in Colorado. The law says a parent may take their unharmed infant to any hospital or fire station and hand it to an employee there, no questions asked.

        1. Congrats and good job on your weight loss!

        2. I read this post earlier which led me to Google it, which led me to wikipedia and numerous other sites and I was just apalled at the history of infanticide. So much for me living in a little bubble.

        Anyway, yes, of course, you would think that any 'civilized' society should have some kind of system in place to avoid such things, but how many know about or trust 'the system'.

        Thanks for sharing.
        Ht: 5' 3/8" (kidding about the 3/8ths)
        Goal: 118-124 (ideal weight for me)!!!

        "The most lovable quality any human can possess is tolerance. It is seeing things from another's viewpoint. It is the concession to others’ rights to their own opinions. It is "bigness" and allows people to be happy in their own way instead of our way." If not, remember . . . Resolve to be patient with the goofballs, compassionate to the idiots, and tolerant with the moronic, for you too will at times be one of these.

          Baby hatch, at least provides survival of unwanted babies.
          Better than having the babies to fend on their own in outside surrounding.
          Newly born babies, are weak.
