Running Head: The intention of this new law is to give mothers who do not wish to provide care for their infants an alternative. .
Abstract.
There are magnitudes of reasons why a woman will abandon a baby, but an increasing number of state officials have decided that the reasons are irrelevant: The answer is how can the state stop babies from being thrown into dumpsters and left to die? .
Child abandonment law.
How prevalent is child abaondement? Unfortunately, no one knows for sure. However, safe child legislation will give mothers an alternative to leaving their newborn child in an unsafe place. Making available a safety net for these infants is a major concern for all humanity. Unwanted Infants are wrapped in plastic and tossed out with the trash, left in dumpsters, dark closets, restrooms, and other horrific places. Their small lives have little chance to survive the elements. All people agree that such manner of attempted infanticide is devastating. No human child ought to have his or her small life ended or life fashioned from such a horrible beginning. .
Unfortunately, people in our society engage in various types of behaviors that are risky. Safe child legislation will encourage mothers to turn their unwanted child over to authority's passing their responsibilities on to others with no repercussion.
The television often displays abandonment as a colorful benevolence of a mother expressing love for the child. She puts the child in a basket lined with soft blankets; the child is smiling or sleeping peacefully. Kisses the child places a note in the basket; she then places the basket on the doorstep of someone who will welcome the child with an open heart. In reality, this is not the outcome. Babies are found dead, sick and suffering, if they are found at all. Infant abandonment law will provide support to the child and offer an alternative to the mother.
