What do you think is the solution to reduce the practice of mothers dumping their babies?
BACKGROUND
Two
weeks ago, Radio Pacis run news about five different children who had been
abandoned and dumped by their mothers away from home. In three separate
occasions, the babies were found dead.
In a
poll question we run last week, we asked you, our listeners, why you think
mothers dump their babies. We received 148 responses. 29 people said it is
because the mothers do not have the money to look after them. 42 of you believe
that these mothers abandon their babies because they don't have the money to
look after them. And 77 listeners believe that it is because these mothers are
abandoned by the fathers that the lack of spousal support causes them to
abandon their children.
In
view of these answers, we would now like to ask you what you think is the best
solution to solving this problem of babies being abandoned.
