In case the story of the Austrian man locking his daughter and their children in the basement for years wasn't awful enough for you...

What a shame.

Here in the States, we have a policy where new mothers can leave their babies at fire stations, among other places no questions asked. I'm not sure about Canada.

I wonder if this is a situation where this type of thing is increasing, or if it has always been there and we haven't been informed of it due to less media exposure?

So you're telling me I can drop off my used engine oil and newborn baby at the fire department at the same time? Well that sure saves me a trip!

Seriously though, not cool at all. RIP.

Can we use the thread title as the start of a great dead baby joke? Who can come up with the best?

Begin ... now!

Well if this is inappropriate, where do you keep your dead babies?

'In an attempt to save lives, some clinics in Germany have installed hatches where desperate mothers can leave unwanted babies anonymously.'

I guess that answers your question Montana. I don't really know about Canada though. Never had that problem myself.

Unfortunately, there are enough different people in the universe that enough of humanity is born without the inherent instincts to protect the young.

Seriously? Give birth then shove it through the cat door?

So stupid... Take the kid to the hospital, admit you can't take care of it, and ask social services to come in and find a good home.

Geez what ever happened to the old tradition of dropping the baby off outside of a Convent and ringing the bell.

Having your baby raised by a bunch of nuns can't be all that bad.

Of course there was the expectation that you were basically giving your baby into the service of god.

Or what about putting your baby in a basket with a note and putting it on a strangers porch then ringing the doorbell and running, at least you know that your not leaving your baby with some kind of crazy because we all know that its more then likely that your leaving your baby in the care of kind yet barren strangers.
