Russian Cities Introduce Baby 'Drop Boxes'

Anonymous baby drop boxes have been introduced for the first time in Russia.
The Krasnodar Territory in south Russia bought five of the so-called baby drop boxes in the beginning of November so mothers could drop off unwanted children anonymously.
The first three were installed in Sochi, Novorossiysk and Armavir, and by the end of the month one child had already been left.



The move was aimed at providing sanitary conditions for unwanted children, instead of 'having them left in garbage containers', health officials told Ria Novosti.
Elena Redko, the head of the Krasnodar Health Department, told the news service the first child to be left, a baby girl, was healthy and would be passed to childcare officials.
'The girl will be put into a children’s home but I think she will be adopted soon because we have fewer children in the region than families who want to have them,' she said.
The move mirrors steps taken in South Africa, where anonymous 'baby safes' were introduced by a children's charity in Spring last year.




Installed at a community centre in Cape Town, the Out of Africa Children's Fund's boxes allow mothers to leave their baby in a locked place without identifying themselves.
Fund chief executive Kim Highfield said at the time she hoped the system would allow struggling mothers to give their children up for adoption safely.
'Sometimes they leave their babies in dangerous areas where they have been attacked by dogs or come to other harm,' she said.
'Our scheme is about providing an alternative, so that new mothers at least have somewhere safe to leave their child.'
The Russian project was slated to involve the Siberian cities of Perm, Tomsk, Omsk, Novosibirsk and the European Russian town of Kirov.

Re: Russian Cities Introduce Baby 'Drop Boxes'

I see the reasoning but they are human beings, it seems so wrong to have places to stash unwanted babies. And use fucking contraception! Educate them in that department too.

Re: Russian Cities Introduce Baby 'Drop Boxes'

That is just sad and sick. Still i can understand the reasons why they made these.

On a plus note, i guess if your ever stranded in Russia and need a place to sleep for the night, you can post yourself in one of these boxes and be sucking on some milky nurse titties in no time.

Poor babies they deserve better than this treatment.

I agree, Sharon. I'm not the smartest person, but, I'd like to think I have common sense. I don't get that either. As a teen, I decided I wasn't having children and took my own precautions. This was before I knew who Maury Povich was, too. Never planned on getting married either and with some of the guys I knew, I certainly didn't want them sharing a child with me for at least 18 years. It seems so simple.

Re: Russian Cities Introduce Baby 'Drop Boxes'

This is terrible! They look like ovens, too! Every day on the news, another baby, "disappears in the middle of the night". I knew the latest, Alya, would sadly be in that group. Diposable babies! Why have them if you don't want them?

With different issues during pregnancy through no fault of the babies, I'd just find it easier not to carry them for nine months to throw them away with the trash!

And if they do carry the babies to full term, give them to someone who wants them. Adoption.

Re: Russian Cities Introduce Baby 'Drop Boxes'

As people have mentioned, better education for both males and females, and contraception is needed.

The gov in Russia should also spend less on weapons and more on helping their own people get sorted.

Strange though, that with all this going on, i recall seeing on the news last year, Russia was worried as their population is declining.

Go figure. :)

Oh shit! An Oven. That's what it looks like. I was going to say an old-timey mail box but it looks more like an oven.

The crazy part is that the Russian government will offer $10,000.00 USD to any woman who produces a child and keeps it.
