it's framed as a humanitarian effort but has anyone really stopped to really actually truly think about the implications of "baby boxes" or "abandon boxes" "safe haven laws" or whatever they're called. like hello. let me just leave this human person in a box and then I'll run away and not receive any medical attention and no one knows who this child is, where they came from, who they came from, who they are. what.
a baby, usually newborn, is anonymously left in a safe place to be found and cared for. A hospital, social centre, church, fire station, in a box, or a hatch, like posting money through the bank hatch after hours, or returning a library book. close the door. goodbye.
i read this comment on a youtube short, and I will literally quote it, "Girls, you can now go into ANY hospital and leave your baby with no consequences and no questions"
hello?? omg? no consequences and no questions?? does ANYONE ever truly ever think of the baby, of the person whose entire world is now left in a wet cardboard box like some cliché. and not to mention the person who gave birth to the baby is probably in desperate need of medical care and literally NOBODY CAN TRACK THEM DOWN.
and this is humanitarian?
