Baby Drop Boxes?

[Exterminator]

Why, if it works and the baby isn't left to die or be killed, the child can be adopted and hopefully grow up. Isn't that better than the alternative?

Do you really think that someone willing to discard her child cares where she does it?

Yes, in some cases. Leaving a child at a hospital or police station requires interaction with authorities. Even though you are told you remain unknown you are obviously seen and recorded by security cameras. The "drop box" could give a greater sense of security giving an incentive to leave the child someplace safe. At any rate, I think it might be worth a try.

So there won't be cameras on these drop boxes?  How will the authorities know if someone puts a baby in one?

I would just imagine it would go into a building where there are people. Sheesh........Are you brain dead or what?

Why don't you look it up before you start suggesting others are stupid.  Learn something for once in your life.

I think but can't swear to it that in Kentucky, a baby can be placed at a fire dept., police, hospital or some other places that deal with children and the infant can be left there with no questions asked.

Did you not listen to the video? It is a mini incubater and it automatically calls 911 when it senses, by weight, that there has been a baby left. And you call me stupid????

No, I didn't listen to the video because unlike you, I know how to read.  Look, I know that you're a bitter old bitch who has nothing better to do with her time than take ridiculous opposing stances based solely on your perception of who posted the original information but this is a stupid idea.  At the end of the day, the 13 babies that were surrendered will now be stuffed into a box where they may live if everything works as planned and someone gets to them in time and the 33 babies that were abandoned and died still will be.

I'm a bitter person? Seems like you're the one making the nasty posts here not me. You just can't stand being questioned or wrong and when you are you get nasty. No, that would be more nasty.

Wrong about baby drop boxes being a bad idea?  I wonder what the temperature would be inside of one of those in the summer and how long it would take to cook a newborn?

Well, according to your link when a baby is put into the "box" it triggers a 911 alert so authorities can go check the box. It doesn't say anything about a camera, but even if there is a camera it is not the same as interacting with a person, which may be enough to make the person feel safer.

It is that way in Indiana, too. The thing is you still need to interact with a person, they aren't supposed to ask questions. From articles and reports I have read a lot of young girls who leave their babies are afraid of being "caught". They don't want to be identified and being face to face with a live person is threatening. Maybe not having to face a person would be enough to allow the  girl to place the baby in a "safe" place.

All I can think of is the days when we used to return movies to Blockbuster. Just drop 'em in the slot.

An incubater has a controlled temp dumb ass. I only call you that because that is what you would call me.

Go look at some pictures of real incubators and then look at the prototype and explain to me how this thing will be climate controlled.  As is typical, you're pulling shit out of your ass.
