The body of a new born baby which was found floating in the Thalgasgoda ganga in Ambalangoda was recovered by the police late last night. The body was found put inside a polythene bag. The Ambalangoda police have arrested the mother of the infant in connection with the death.

This is the result of ban abortion. What does poor lady can do other than this?

The only solution to this is to improve sex education and have a support scheme for single parents.

Enact the Act on abortion in Sri Lanka as in Uk so that people could think twice whether to have a baby or not. If the parents can't afford the baby it is better that the baby be unborn than to suffer the rest of the life.

Where were the brother(s), sister(s), father, mother, husband, in laws of this poor mother? Were they aware of anything going on with the mother, including depression and other medical conditions. Why blame the government?

This is realy sad and pethetic. Well whatever it is the rulers might connect this with SF or opposition and the CID might question few opposition condidates.

With the kind of money we got as Tsunami aid, the poor victims could have been rehabiltated well to avoid this sort of tragic incidents, if only the powers be did not swindle such aid. The funny thing is those who robbed even Tsunami money are still sitting in top positions of the government and watching such tragedies taking place in the country.

This type of incidents happening in SL almost daily. Its not a surprise. Its a common social problem which should be discussed separately. But we used to talk these things only in Election Season. Sad.

Sunday, 21 March 2010 08:29 AM

it is soooo..painful and those who have done this to be punished

Sunday, 21 March 2010 08:20 AM

Mad, bad sad world

Sunday, 21 March 2010 08:10 AM

Whats wrong with these people? y'day innocent boy died as coz mother couldnt look after him. Now an infant! Where is this country is moving towards? We should find a solution for these kind of behaviors. Children are our future, we should protect and safe guard them, this is every single Sri Lanka's responsibility, Specially the authorities have to put maximum effort to safe guard our children.

Sunday, 21 March 2010 08:06 AM

Sunday, 21 March 2010 08:05 AM
