Baby Boxes - UN Criticism

[DURHAM D]

"The United Nations is criticizing the spread in Europe of "baby boxes," which allow parents to anonymously abandon newborn children by placing them in specially designed compartments at hospitals and other locations."

"...almost 200 have been installed across the continent in the past decade in nations as diverse as Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic and Latvia. Since 2000, more than 400 children have been abandoned in the hatches, with faith groups and right-wing politicians spearheading the revival in the controversial practice."

Is there a better way? I really don't know what to think about this.

1. I don't think that unfit parents can be fixed.

And if a person with a child feels that they aren't fit to care for that child, then let that child have a chance with someone else.

This is assuming that the children left in boxes meet a better fate than had they not been left.
