    Something seems to have snapped, not even the mother's natural instincts are kicking in. What is happening to our society that an innocent infant can be discarded in this heartless manner?

    Why not open a centre in every hospital where any mother can anonymously drop her child off, if she 'doesn't want' it? It's far better than letting her kill the child!
