Innocent Lives~
I was actually going through some readings online and then somehow I had to come across an article about Infants being dumped here and there....
KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 472 baby-dumping cases were reported nationwide in the past five years and more than half of the infants were found dead.
"From the 65 cases, 21 individuals, mostly the babies' mothers, were arrested.
The baby, believed to be less than a day old, was found inside a black sling bag, wrapped in a piece of towel and green cloth.
Last year, a total of 79 cases of baby dumping were reported.
Twenty-nine of them were girls, 25 were boys and the remaining 25 were foetuses.
Bakri said police have identified two major factors that contribute to baby dumping, including illicit sex due to the influence of pornographic materials in the Internet.
Such pornographic materials can easily be shared through handphones.
Another factor is a poor family institution and less parenting care towards children.
Baby dumping cases are investigated for concealment of birth by secret disposal of a body, which carries a two-year imprisonment and a fine upon conviction.
I mean I do understand that accidents happen but don't have to go all the way to throw them or dump them here and there right? This is just so insane and sickening....
The news article is as below....
