with othersHEALTHBirth defects as the baby is not
properly handled by professional gynoLack of immunity as the infant is not

Mimickers of the situationBad image of the society
PREVENTION We should have places where babies can be
left with no questions asked We need much more advertising. This should be taught just like sex is in
school There needs to be a "logo" to be put on a
sign and these signs need to be located in plain sight at these safe places.
Advising women thinking of dumping their babies to take them to orphanages and other organizations such as the "Saudatul Sakinah" where such children would be looked after
PREVENTION Religion Parents must play high role to teach
their kids to become good in their behavior
Parents should be educating not to frighten their kids
By teaching teens to stay out of sexual relationships
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION Baby dumping is becoming a common
problem in the country and this problem will never end without a solution.
We don’t want more babies dying. Immoral act should be severed from the
early stage So, individual (main role), society and
government must stand together to prevent this problem.
CONCLUSION Poor parental control and lack of
education are one of the root causes. Sex education ?? It should be about the ramifications of
sex out of wedlock, the morality behind such undertakings, the impact on individual, society, finances and law.
CONCLUSION The religious and educational authorities
must play their part in organizing community programs and collaborating with parents to nurture the right values in the young.
It is right if the government has taken the drastic step of categorizing baby dumping as a criminal act as a murder if it meets with all the legal specifications of one.
The government should gives heavier punishment to those who commit this appalling crime.
