[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 584966, member: 84"] I think the new provision is an attempt to prevent what happened to this infant. It's not going to work, of course, because a parent who feels the need to resort to this is desperate enough not to have their identity known for whatever reason they have.......and they'll still leave it outside or whatever. in my opinion it's far better than leaving it in a toilet or a dumpster or putting it into a trashcan at the curb. Perhaps they ought to mandate that hospitals ect have a buzzer installed at doors so that when a mom drops off an infant she can ring the buzzer to make sure someone comes out. Not sure how well that would work but a darn sight higher chance than actually handing the infant over. This mother thought she'd taken her infant to a safe haven. Authorities need to leave her alone. It's not her fault the infant died. Since I'm sure this has been plastered all over the news, and this mom knows who she is.........she is already having to live with the consequences of her decision. I wouldn't want to be her. :( [/QUOTE]
