Just another example of why the UN is a fucked up useless organization full of mentally damaged people. Maria Herczog needs to be stuck into a wood chipper. Fortunately, she is just being outed as a yammering idiot and people are not listening to her try and validate her pathetic existence.
In multiple European countries, women who recently gave birth are legally allowed to leave their newborns in warm, publically-accessible incubators.
The incubators are found at some hospitals and can be opened from the outside. The point of these incubators, often called baby boxes, is to allow mothers to abandon unwanted babies in a safe and anonymous way.
But the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child is now speaking out against the practice and asking the EU for a baby box ban, Jewish World Review reported.
German pastor Gabriele Stangl came up with the baby box idea in 1999, after a woman in Berlin confessed to murdering an unwanted baby that had been conceived through rape. Strangl thought that a so-called "baby box" would help other desperate women caught in similar situations, the Associated Press reported.
Once a baby is put in the box, its door closes and a nurse immediately gets alerted by a signal, the AP reported in October.
There are now nearly 100 baby boxes in Germany and more than 40 in Poland and the Czech Republic. There are also some in Italy, Lithuania, Russia, Switzerland and Belgium. Hundreds of babies have been abandoned in the boxes in the past decade.
Though the boxes appear to be safe, the UN committee now claims that the baby boxes violate children's rights to identify their parents. Yeah, because being fed to pigs or left out in the woods or in a gutter is SO MUCH BETTER for the parental child bonding process...
"Baby boxes do not operate in the best interest of the child or the mother," Maria Herczog, a sociologist and member of the UN committee, told the Jewish World Review. The UN committee has no actual authority however. Advocates of baby boxes maintain that the practice prevents infanticide and unwanted children.

I believe in Mobile that you can drop off a baby at the Emergency Room desk and leave, no questions asked. Like you said, it may suck, but it's better than getting dropped off in a dumpster.
Edit: And like you have stated before, not trying to start another holy war, but I think it's a better option than abortion.

It is tragic that such a good idea could possibly get wasted. There are a lot of babies that could live and potential parents that could be made happy. But in the name of "childrens rights", more babies would likely die by banning these boxes.

Texas also has a safe haven law for babies. Fire stations and hospitals. They try to locate the mother to make sure she is sure this is what she wants to do, but it is not criminalized. It's saved quite a few lives for sure. Always better than a dumpster.
I hope like hell that this stupid UN bitch is sterile.

I dropped mine off at the police station. I thought I was good to go.
They told me to com e get him. I guess nobody else wants a smart-ass 16 year old either!

Not only sterile, she's probably hasn't been laid since she was 12.
