We tried to stuff Hillary in one on Tuesday but she was too wide to fit in...
No charge, no questions asked.
But when you go to the animal shelter, they interrogate you about the animal, and ask why you want to drop it off. Plus they charge you a fee.
So animals are more important than babies?
To an extent I can see why the animal shelter would. In the future just tell them “No the dog does not have rabies, parvo or distemper or no the cat does not have feline AIDS or Leukemina” Unless it does then tell them. Otherwise you need not tell them a thing.
Why does the state need to do it?
You can drop one off at my house any time
I will make sure it gets taken care of by the authorities and keep it safe until it does.
We should create a national LOGO that anyone who is willing to do this can put on their window
what could possibly go wrong?
The baby hatch goes way back, was used in medieval convents and is still in use today in convents to prevent direct contact between cloistered individuals and laity.
I have one, a very sturdy and very old piece; it works like a hidden bar, you could put books in one side, then spin it and reveal a selection of wines...or vice versa.
It would easily hold a baby. It would hold me!
How do we know you aren’t Big-Fat-Ugly-Bug-Face-Baby-Eating O’Brien?
Your house & mine - yes, good places to drop off an infant.
I’d be afraid however, that there would be those who “traffic” in babies who would abuse the system.
Which is not to say that this couldn’t also happen at a fire-station drop. But at least we’d have a better chance of some accountability there (camera’s, witnesses, etc...)
Of course it shouldn't be that way. In an ideal world all mothers would have the moral courage to save their infant. But it isn't that way. This provides a mother another option.
More information when you leave off a pet? That's okay. They're "apples and oranges" situations.
“what could possibly go wrong?”
Nothing worse than happens at an abortion “clinic”...
Agree.
I thought that we already had these in every major city? Perhaps they are not padded boxes, but there is already a system for dropping off babies with no questions asked. Unfortunately many of the women in crisis ignore this option.
Have a friend who might need this. Is 32 too old to drop off?
No, humans are more important than animals, which is why the new mothers should not be asked. Otherwise they often kill or abandon their babies. These are scared people who went to the trouble to hide their pregnancies.
No, babies are more important. That’s why you don’t play 50 questions and intimidate someone from putting a baby somewhere safe.
Have a friend who might need this. Is 32 too old to drop off?
It’s got to be a newborn. They won’t take back toddlers who refuse to sleep, obnoxious eight year olds, even teenagers! Not fair, huh? At least the 32 year old can drive himself over and ask.
But what if the 32 year old identifies a an infant? Thats supposed to be ok now I hear.
I would change the color to --- I don't know --- silver and white? With pictures of happy babies on it? Make it look cheerful, not stark and utilitarian.
I’m pretty sure I’ve heard on news local fire dept’s have a place to leave new borns no questions.
And any time a newborn is reportedly found abandoned dead or alive the news usually reminds people bring them into any medical facility or church rather than dumpsters or such as happens.
I know I pass a billboard that says “don’t abort. we’ll adopt” put up by a catholic church.
