Don't judge moms who dump babies

January 11, 2024

The Citizen

What does it say about our society that, in 2023 (the last year with available statistics), 250 cases of baby dumping were recorded nationally?

Are these mothers heartless or just desperate?

The national social development department says that, in all cases, the dumped babies were found alive and were placed in different shelters, while two of them were reunited with their families.

There could be many reasons why a mother decides to abandon her baby - from poverty, to shame at an unwanted pregnancy, to the possible wrath of a family finding out about her condition.
