Hand that rocks the Cradle

When I read about another Infant being abandoned outside a building in Mumbai it made me wonder 'What have we come to? .............it is extremely shocking, repulsive, sad , heartbreaking to know that we as human beings who are supposed to be the most advanced of God's creations can behave in this callous way.
What has our society come to? Yesterday a New Born Female infant only 4 days old was found at the Entrance of a Multi storey Building in Mumbai ...........and on tuesday a 3 day old baby was abandoned in Kalyan and on Wednesday a 6 month female feoutous was found in a dustbin near a fish market in Sewree (it may be noted that in the past week all the children were Female)
This is the 3rd such instance when an abandoned infant has been found in the last week........isn't it sad And please note these are only the details I have of Mumbai we will never know how many children/infants are abandoned around the country or for that matter around the world. And surprisingly these are the statistics of ONLY this week. God only Knows how many have been abandoned and will continue to be abandoned over the next few months /years.
I always wonder what that woman must have felt who first conceived the child went through the full pregnancy and then had the heart to abandon it after it was born.......it must be very difficult for her.
I can only imagine the various circumstances which could have culminated in her making such a CRUEL and HEARTLESS Decision.
-It could be either that she wanted a Son and so having a daughter would be more expenses and more Mental and Physical torture from the Family so abandoning her would be in 'the Child' and 'the Mother's' best interest.
-It could be an unwanted pregnancy where children due to lack of Sex education and the curiosity to know more and taste the forbidden fruit do so and then the girl has to Bear the consequences of their action.
-It could be an outcome of a incestuous liaison where the girl fearing the family may have kept her lips zipped and had the child.
- It could even be a case where the Girl was forced like Rape where she has NO say.....
What ever the reason may be that still doesn't justify the child being left in a garbage dump or a garage or for that matter outside a building.
There are so many places like NGO's, Hospitals etc where a newborn can be left and where it can be looked after or sent to safe custody instead of leaving the child out in the wild as food to stray dogs and wild creatures..........
And the saddest part of this story is that there are so many childless couples who undergo so many tests and hormonal treatments and go through so many artificial procedures like IVF etc to have children and are still not successful and here there is a lady who has had a healthy child is actually having the heart to throw it away.
While these childless couples who go to adoption agencies to adopt are asked to fill numerous forms and produce many certificates proving that they cannot have children and even if they agree to adopt this abandoned child they are given only Guardianship.That is the SAD IRONY of the whole situation.
