US State Considers Baby Drop-Off Boxes

BBC News

The state of Indiana in the United States is considering implementing “baby boxes” - drop-off spots for parents to anonymously hand over their infants, according to the article. Indiana would be the first state in the country to introduce baby boxes, which are supposedly designed to prevent the deaths of abandoned babies. The practice of baby boxes is more common in Europe and in Asia, and has been criticised by some advocates but supported by others.
