The Associated Press is reporting on a new Japanese program where mothers who don't want (or can't take care of) their babies can drop them off anonymously. There is a similar program in the U.S.
In the first year of the program in Japan, 17 babies were dropped off.
Interestingly 13 were boys and 4 were girls.
14 were less than 1 month old, 2 were less than a year old and one was a preschooler! (talk about scarred for life)
