Of Baby Dumping and the Death Sentence

-Picture removed due to its very disturbing effect  on people-

Lately, there are many cases of baby dumping throughout the nation. Young, unmarried girls left their newly born babies in front of people's houses, mosques, hospitals, you name it. This is to avoid caring for the poor child, washing their hands off the responsibility of raising an out of wedlock baby.

And usually, these deliveries were secret, the hospital and the parents were unaware - risking the lives of both mother and child. But the unholiest deed these girls ever did was leaving the babies to die in sad and filthy places. This is beyond barbaric. Even during the darkest annals of history, we never heard of babies dumped into sewers. But it happens now - in my society.

Many sympathizers would say;"The girls must be desperate. You cannot blame it all on the poor young mothers." "Our society was intolerant of unmarried single moms." "Maybe she was raped, it's not her fault." etc

But do all those excuses give you the right to hide the birth and then bury the unnamed child in some god forsaken place by the river?! This is what happen if you let freedom take control over the young generation - where boys and girls mingle outrageously in public, and of course hidden places.

It takes two to tango. Young girls do not get pregnant by themselves. If you were raped, waltz to your nearest police station to lodge a report. Get your inside washed, whatever so unwanted pregnancy can be avoided. Heck, girls! There is such a thing we call abortion at the clinic. So smash your piggy banks to pay for the fee when your boyfriends left a bun in your oven!

The Minister of Women Affairs, with tears streaming in her face had addressed the Parliament sometime ago that something should be done to put a stop on the rising number of cases. And the Cabinet approves of the death sentence to young parents who caused the death of newly born babies in the near future.

You play, you pay - now dearly with your life.

There IS a chapter in family planning (using condoms and other preventatives) in secondary school Science subject. See what happen when you don't pay enough attention in school.

p.s.- the picture above is real and recent, of a baby dumped somewhere in some bushes. The baby was dead after several hours of exposure to the elements. I put this picture to stress my point - humans will not do this, only the devil within. (This is the most graphic picture in my blog to date, I try not to mess minds, but you must see to believe it).   

Say yes to the death sentence.
