Saturday, January 9, 2010 CAUSES OF BABY DUMPING Hye..My Friends..today I want discuss about the causes of baby dumping... In my opinion the main causes of baby dumping is parents role. I think nearest person with teenagers is parents, so only parents can curve their son's behavior. If their parents can't give good education to their son's, is not impossible their son's can't compare between true all false. So that's not impossible teenagers can interupe to the phenomenon baby dumping... Posted by blog member's at 10:40 AM Labels: ROSZAIMA BT ROSDI (A123277) 21 comments: blog member's said... Emma, I agree with your opinion that parents must pay a lot attention to their son’s, especially about moral education, but in my opinion not only moral education is the main role that causes baby dumping phenomenon because the other role such as internet, television also one of the cause behind baby dumping. There are still some of us who do not understand the real meaning of sex. Consequently, certain abuses take place. In the web for example, we have the cyber sex which is getting a lot of attention especially from the teenagers. We cannot of course prevent them from chatting in the web or engaging into cyber dates since the internet has proven its worth in terms of socialization and communication. That’s easy to interupe teenage to the sex without marriage and then, when they make sex and pregnant without married, the problems (pregnant un-married) that could make one get confused and decide to do things that cannot be done by a normal human being,so that’s why some women decide to dump their children.

Besides that, baby dumping phenomenon also happen when unwed girls find themselves pregnant,afraid to tell their parents about unwanted pregnant and their don’t know what to do, so the best thing in their mind is throw out their baby’s without feel guilty because its only the way to solve their problem.. (NURAZURAINI BINTI MUSTAPA A123461) January 23, 2010 12:34 PM blog member's said... syira and Zura... I think low living standard cause that teenagers take road cut to get money by working

as prostitute. Due to that job, that possibility of teenagers will be pregnant and remove that baby without guilt... what do you think zura and syira??? I want all of you give respon my comment.... ROSZAIMA ROSDI (A123277) January 24, 2010 10:58 PM blog member's said... I agree with zura but I want share about my opinion. I think, the causes of baby dumping is a their afraid for face to face with society. May be, their will being humiliated by the community. So, their feel for doing baby dumping. The purpose is a can't ashamed. Are you agree with my opinion? NORSYAHIRAH BINTI MD.YAZID (A122786) January 25, 2010 4:39 PM blog member's said... And than about Emma opinion, I have one question with your ideas. How on the other case such as rape case? I feel baby dumping doesn't involving prostitution only but the baby dumping also involves another case. Zura, what is you comment? NORSYAHIRAH BINTI MD.YAZID (A122786) January 25, 2010 5:02 PM blog member's said... yeah,i agree with u emma,but for your information not only prostitute throw ut their babys because its involved who have standard profesion and as syira said,we must look it at the other perspective such as rape, because it's is not their false and make sex without their permission.so when they pregnant, they choose to throw out their baby's because when look at baby, make their trauma. January 26, 2010 9:09 PM blog member's said... if see perspective as rape, i think that teenagers can give baby to others take care of him or pass to social welfare house. Even, i think have no cause to remove baby. Maybe, could care for baby with parents support. Besided that, teenagers no need shyness because all which happen this sure be his wisdom. ROSZAIMA ROSDI A 123277 January 26, 2010 9:58 PM blog member's said... yeah,you're right emma..but,if their keep this tragedy (rape)as a secret,and their must find way to solve this problem without evebody knows..so their make desicion to

throw out their baby's. (NURAZURAINI BINTI MUSTAPA A123461) January 26, 2010 11:56 PM blog member's said... and this case really happen at Kedah in Mac 2009, which that students involved alleged be rape victims in capital when go back for a holiday but she don’t report that incident to her families and police. The student secret giving birth to child out of wedlock uncovered when she complained have stomach ache before their teacher bring her to the hospital. However doctor decided, actually she don’t have stomach ache but new give birth and after being persuaded of her teacher and doctor, she's finally admitted childbirth and throw her baby behind school. So from that case we know, baby dumping not only happen and doing by who involved in social phenomenon but from the rape victim. (NURAZURAINI BINTI MUSTAPA A123461) March 18, 2010 1:27 AM blog member's said... In the article i just read about "Baby-dumping and Infanticide" say, that’s issues (dumped their baby) happen because new mothers, especially young mothers (under age) may feel overwhelmed by the idea of parenthood. They may have difficulty coping with the drastic physical and emotional changes they are experiencing. They may be suffering from the depression sometimes brought on by the hormonal changes associated with giving birth. They may be convinced that they will be unable to provide for the child, and they may feel that there is no one they can turn to for help. They also may fear the shame of having given birth outside of marriage, or they may fear that they will be unable to continue their studies if anyone knows about that. So none of these feelings can excuse they from throw their baby. (NURAZURAINI BINTI MUSTAPA A123461) March 18, 2010 1:29 AM blog member's said... But it’s dependts to the situation,and some of the other factors is their mother's leading to the children abandonment included early pregnancies, rejection by male partners claimed to have fathered the children, scolding by parents, poverty, and broken marriages. Besides that, unwanted pregnancies also has been one of the major causes of baby dumping, this is because most of these young ladies are not prepared to take care of the children. NURAZURAINI BINTI MUSTAPA (A123461) March 18, 2010 1:31 AM blog member's said...

ooo,that a good idea. I feel maybe they think that best solution to their problem. Beside that, I want give opinion. Refer to news, Datuk Hassan Ahmad said who dump and kill their babies because they failed to control their emotions dan this contributes to their past sin of committing adultery. NORSYAHIRAH BINTI MD.YAZID(A122786) March 23, 2010 9:12 PM blog member's said... Beside that,I also take statment from Universiti Malaya Senior Research Fellow Datuk Dr Abdul Monir Yaacob.From the statment, he said declining value of the family institution led to babies being dumped. So, from that statment,we know that family institution is one's causes of baby dumping. NORSYAHIRAH BINTI MD.YAZID(A122786) March 23, 2010 9:25 PM blog member's said... yup, you'r right Syira, besides that,baby dumping also causes because she's victim of rape by the strange. This can related to the issue in Kedah which student was rape by the stranger when go back for a holiday but she didn’t report that incident to her families and police. That incident (rape) causes that student pregnant without anyone else know. However, the student secret giving birth to child out of wedlock uncovered when she complained have stomach ache before their teacher bring her to the hospital and doctor decided she’s actually didn’t have stomach ache but new give birth and after being persuaded of her teacher and doctor, she's finally admitted childbirth and throw her baby behind school. So from that case we know, baby dumping not only happen and doing by who involved in social phenomenon but causes from the rape victim. (NURAZURAINI BINTI MUSTAPA A123461) March 23, 2010 11:25 PM blog member's said... Another factor that cause of baby dumping is family break-up. Family break-ups happen after a long period of misunderstandings, fighting and unhappiness. Sometimes they happen suddenly and it is hard to understand why there needs to be change at all. Children are mostly affected by this kind of situation. If both their mother and father decided to a divorce and one cannot raise their child alone, tendency is that they will abandon their child. This child will become homeless and found himself alone and interrupt with social problem such as sex without married. Lastly when they’re pregnant and born they choose to dump their babies without feel guilty because maybe they don’t understand the importance of a child in a family. (NURAZURAINI BINTI MUSTAPA A123461) March 25, 2010 6:07 PM

blog member's said... As you(emma)said before poverty also another factor that causes baby dumping but i want talk in detail about that.Persons in cultures with poor social welfare systems who are not financially capable of taking care of a child are more likely to throw their babies. Political conditions, such as can the lack of institutions, such as orphanages, to take in children whom their parents cannot support may also contribute to child abandonment. Societies with strong social structures and liberal adoption laws tend to have lower rates of baby dumping. (NURAZURAINI BINTI MUSTAPA A123461) March 25, 2010 6:10 PM blog member's said... but,we must look at the other perspective such as their tradition allowed to married after pregnant and pregnant without married is not "taboo" in their society. so if they pregnant without married it's not a big problem and can gave birth their baby without feel guilty. That's different in malay traditions and Islam religion not allowed pregnant without married. maybe that's perspective causes they to dumped their babies. But that's not mean they must solve this problem by throw their babies.(sorry if other religion also not allowed to pregnant without married, because i just look in Islam and malay perspective) NURAZURAINI BINTI MUSTAPA March 27, 2010 11:07 PM blog member's said... owhh really Zura..I never think about this causes before. Hopefully, group Malay aware on this matter and take care of behaviour so that religion only that looked down at Islamic religion. ROSZAIMA BT ROSDI A123277 March 28, 2010 4:39 PM blog member's said... yeah emma,me too..and i want add some information and statement from Dr Boulton. Dr. Boulton said that mothers who throw their babies normally do so under desperate circumstances. ―Having one’s first child is the most stressful experience someone can go through. Young mothers can be vulnerable, especially if they are alone and do not have the experience or social support to cope.‖refer to this article so we know when they are under desperate they might do unnormal thing. (NURAZURAINI BINTI MUSTAPA A123461) March 29, 2010 5:30 PM blog member's said...

Right Zura, I think mother to throw their babies because she ashmed and not ready to be a mother.. Besides that, she did't married yet..

ROSZAIMA BT ROSDI A123277 March 29, 2010 5:39 PM blog member's said... Yeah,it true zura and emma. Normally,they are under desperate they might do unnormal thing because they are under pressure. Some case, they ashamed with society NORSYAHIRAH BINTI MD.YAZID(122786) March 29, 2010 5:42 PM Post a Comment Newer Post Older Post Home Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom)

517 baby dumping cases since 2005 February 09, 2011 KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 9 – From 2005 to January this year, a total of 517 baby dumping cases were registered in the country, said Federal CID director Datuk Seri Mohd Bakri Zinin. He said 203 of the cases involved boys, 164 girls while the gender of the other 150 babies could not be ascertained.

―For cases in which the gender cannot be identified, post-mortems could not be carried out because the bodies were too badly decomposed,‖ he told reporters at the Federal police headquarters. Of the total, 230 were found alive while 287 were dead. Mohd Bakri said 37 suspects had been arrested in connection with the cases from 2005 until now, including four people in January alone. Eighteen cases were brought to court resulting in nine convictions so far, he said. According to Mohd Bakri, their studies revealed that the common locations for baby dumping were housing areas, by the road near mosques, rivers, bushes and public toilets. He also said the police were given the responsibility of managing the NUR Alert (National Urgent Response Alert) system which aims to detect and inform the public about missing children aged below 12. He said they were entrusted by the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry with this issue as the department was investigating such cases, which also included evidence collection and information dissemination. – Bernama http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/517-baby-dumping-cases-since-2005/

Baby dumping: Blame someone before someone blames you! September 07, 2010 SEPT 7 — I am not an avid ―Family Guy‖ viewer, but a good friend of mine is. The other day we were discussing how the show was recently un-banned in Malaysia, but is heavily censored. Any curse word, or word that sounds like a curse word, is removed. Most references to sex and violence are also omitted, which is why Astro can air a whole episode in less than 20 minutes. What is really interesting though are the parts allowed through. A case in point: they let the full ―Prom Night Dumpster Baby‖ song play given the fact that ―baby dumping‖ is without doubt a sensitive topic. In Malaysia, 60 discarded babies have been recorded so far this year. When horrible things like this happen nobody likes to look in the mirror — especially when they think maybe they might have some stake in the issue. Who should be looking in the mirror? I think of the family that never teaches their son about the harms of alcohol and he ends up nose down in a river, or the family that fails to teach their daughter about her body only to find that she was touched in the wrong place by a forceful guest. You simply can’t be

surprised when these things happen if you are not proactive in their prevention. The ignorant need guidance. Given the fact that a whole Baby Dumping Unit has been created by the MCA , this must be a serious issue — one that shouldn’t be overlooked, but why would baby dumping be more common in a harmonious country like Malaysia? Provocative writer Deborah Loh of The Nut Graph gives a fantastic overview of all the arguments from authority that seem to be missing the truth by... a long shot! Here are what some of the self-proclaimed baby dumping experts have to say: Let’s begin with a word from the wise: If you ever find something wrong in the world, blame porn. Right away, traditional conservative peoples will be on your side. Federal CID director Comm Datuk Seri Bakri Zinin cleverly did just that, blaming the over-abundance and accessibility of pornography today. I am wondering how he discovered this relationship? Did he have people watch hours of porn and ask them whether they felt compelled to dump babies? That is the best guess I can come up with. Pornography which has been widely consumed by EVERY culture since humans figured out how to draw on caves, is not on the rise or fall. Since every society on earth consumes it, it would be silly to think that only Malaysia is seeing babies in dumpsters because of erotic images. Romantic holidays like Valentines and New Years have also been blamed by the selfproclaimed baby dumping experts. PAS Youth deputy chief Azman Shapawi reportedly said that free mixing between the sexes, which seemingly only happens on these holidays in his world, has led to more baby dumping. Obviously he doesn’t get out much. Similarly, couples riding on vehicles together has also been blamed. Mazlan Mohamad, director of the Tengku Ampuan Afzan Teachers’ Training Institute in Kuantan, Pahang, proactively prohibited trainee teachers from riding together. He says ―If it’s just for dinner, then there’s no problem. But if dinner’s over and they’re still together alone in a car, then that is not right.‖ No word on how drastically his new rules have curbed baby dumping. I am trying to connect the dots, but really... logic prohibits me. Others are blaming secular values and the lack of religious education. Malaysian Muslim Lawyers’ Association president Zainul Rijal Abu Bakar said the reason why the majority of baby-dumping cases involved Malays was because there was no control on curbing immoral activities. ―They are doing this due to a lack of religious guidance and I consider this a curse from Allah,‖ Zainul reportedly said. A curse from God? I just think it is ignorant and misinformed teenage girls with nobody who will really listen and not judge them. Thinking it is a curse from God won’t really help the problem, will it? Unless you just want to shun your cursed daughters? A lack of religious guidance? My sisters are both very secular thinkers, have no religious education, and I have no doubt they will both be very careful about who they have relations with. I also know that we can talk about what could happen and they know I will support

them regardless. Just because someone has your unconditional support it does not mean they will abuse it. Some questions worth considering: If your daughter: •

gets pregnant to a person of another religion

•

gets pregnant to a person of another race

•

gets raped by a family member

•

makes a mistake and gets pregnant before marriage

Does she know that you will forgive her and always love her? Is the average Malaysian family ready to handle this? What needs to be combated is the idea of Illegitimate children and bringing shame to the family. In many traditional environments, these ideas reign supreme. Any and every child should feel as legitimate as the next. Growing up, I was taught about the consequences of sex, the need for continued communication between my parents and me. I do not remember thinking negatively about my friends who only had a mom or a dad. That was common, and I had no interest in judging them based on their situation. Reportedly in all Malaysian states, a child born out of wedlock to Muslim parents or who is adopted cannot get the normal Binti or Bin in their name. These ―abnormals‖ receive the name Abdullah. This means that every person that encounters this child in the future can know of their parents’ ―negative‖ marital situation at the time of their birth. This is completely unfair to an innocent child and it would be nice if this practice were changed. The concept of ―Illegitimacy‖ needs to be confronted from the top to bottom. Love is what a child needs whether it is from one parent or two: unconditional love. Tell your children you will love them no matter what. Accidents happen, and family helps you get through them. Sex education is readily available and can be implemented whenever Malaysia is ready for it. Until then, parents should sit down with their kids and have ―the talk.‖ I know firsthand, from teaching a sex education lesson here in Malaysia, that teenagers have many questions that should not have to be asked by individuals at that age. If a parent or older sibling chooses to ignore this responsibility and their child ends up giving birth to a baby in a washroom, or ―dumping it‖ you should accept some of the blame. I never knew anyone in high school who had an abortion. I grew up in Canada, where it is legal. A friend here in Malaysia knows of a number of her friends who have had abortions. She grew up in Malaysia where abortion is illegal.

Legalising abortion could be part of the solution. People seem to get caught up with whether one is ―for‖ abortion or ―against‖ abortion. These positions don’t exist. Nobody likes abortion, but many are pro-choice recognising that it is a better alternative to unhappy and uncared for babies coming into this world. Every country on earth has abortions taking place. It just depends whether you want to pretend it doesn’t exist and have unsafe black market abortions or whether you want to recognise that it will happen and provide safe and supportive centres where people can make this choice.. Criminalising baby dumping won’t help with the problem at large. This is a small band-aid on a full blown disease. These young women aren’t criminals and if ultimately we want to save babies’ lives this is not the best way to go about it. Baby dumpers are scared, ignorant, and already in enough pain. A death sentence will end their suffering, but it won’t change the fact that a baby was killed. What needs to be concentrated on by all parties is the indirect ways dumping behaviour can be prevented. As stated by Haslina Yaacob of the All Women’s Action Society Malaysia (Awam) ―create a safe environment where these people know they could go to — to be helped, listened to, understood and cared for.‖ Talk to your daughters. Talk to your sons. Encourage safe sex. Encourage unconditional love and teach those around you that they are and will always be legitimate. These girls that dump their babies have long been dumped by the society they grew up in. Let’s change that. * The views expressed here are the personal opinion of the columnist. http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/opinion/article/baby-dumping-blame-someone-beforesomeone-blames-you/

Baby dumping among teenagers in Malaysia

Links to this post

Thursday, August 12, 2010 CHILD is a priceless gift from Allah SWT. However, baby dumping is a social crisis and has a chronic increase as many cases are occurring in Malaysian society. The baby dumping refers to discarding or leaving alone, for an extended period of time, a child younger than 12 months of age in a public or private setting with the intent to dispose of the child. Based on Bukit Aman Police Headquarters statistics found a total of 580 babies were found dumped between year 2000 to 2006. This number of cases increase every year where as much as 65 baby dumping cases has increased to 83 cases in the year 2006. In the first 5 months, almost everyday there are reports on dumped baby cases.You read it on the front page of the newspaper or see it on the nightly news...a newborn baby found in a back alley. This scenario had been more serious from day to day although there are a lot about this in the mass media. Mostly,among teenagers always seen to be involved in this situation. Teenage parents give birth in a motel room and leave the child for dead in a dumpster. A girl gives birth in a school bathroom at night. throws the baby into the garbage or in the toilet.These stories relate to one of the most frightening realities of our culture today: some children are viewed as problems to be thrown away rather than gifts to be treasured. More recently, the tragedy of Baby Dumping has begun to be addressed by state legislatures throughout the nation. For example, a number of states have passed laws to provide funding, care, and services for dumped children. These legislative actions have also established 'safe houses' - public centers such as fire stations, police stations, and other public areas where women can bring unwanted children rather then leave them in trash receptacles. The hope is that, by offering an alternative to dumping, women might leave their children with people who can help the baby. Surprisingly, these cases have got a lot of attention from the community. So, what are the best opinions and ways that should be taken to prevent this scenario from spreading? Posted by Baby dumping among teenagers in Malaysia at 11:06 PM 24 comments Links to this post Child dumping is the practice of dumping offspring outside of legal adoption.The dumped child is called a foundling or throwaway. According to a reliable statistics, one baby is dumped every week. A figure that has trebled in the past decades. Causes include many social and cultural factors as well as mental illness.

One factor that leads to child dumping is teenage pregnancy. Teenage pregnancy is defined as a teenage or underage girl becoming pregnant.This pregnancy of teenagers are a mere result of the gratification of sexual urges. That pregnancy might not happen only if studies were prioritized rather than having relationships with the opposite sex. No premarital sex, no early pregnancy. Worst thing about this is that it is the child that will suffer. If not aborted, they are dumped by their biological parents.

Another factor is the family break-up. Family break-ups happen after a long period of misunderstandings, fighting and unhappiness. Sometimes they happen suddenly and it is hard to understand why there needs to be change at all. Children are mostly affected by this kind of situation. If both their mother and father decided to a divorce and one cannot raise their child alone, tendency is that they will dump their child. This child will become homeless and found himself alone. Poverty is also another factor that causes child dumping. Persons in cultures with poor social welfare systems who are not financially capable of taking care of a child are more likely to dump him/her. Political conditions, such as difficulty in adoption proceedings, may also contribute to child dumping, as can the lack of institutions, such as orphanages, to take in children whom their parents cannot support. Societies with strong social structures and liberal adoption laws tend to have lower rates of child dumping. Psychologists believe that even short-term dumping can damage a child’s emotional and social development. “Even short separations could have a negative effect on the child’s ability to form close relationships,” said Dr Michael Boulton, a child psychologist at the University of Keele. “Babies often form attachments with their mother before birth. They know their mother’s smell and turn to them when anxious or distressed. If they suddenly find they have gone it can be very damaging.” Dr Boulton said that mothers who dump their children normally do so under desperate circumstances. “Having one’s first child is the most stressful experience someone can go through. Young mothers can be vulnerable, especially if they are alone and do not have the experience or social support to cope.”

PREVENTION Long-term solutions to the problem of baby dumping require efforts at prevention. Steps must be taken to prevent unwanted pregnancies, provide assistance to parents in crisis, and increase communication within families and communities.



Sexuality Education

Baby dumping presumably results from unwanted pregnancy. To prevent baby dumping, it is therefore ultimately necessary to educate individuals about

sexuality. We supports age-appropriate comprehensive sexuality education, and recommends that schools and communities provide comprehensive sexuality education to all youth and families. 

Responding to Unwanted Pregnancy

Individuals experiencing unwanted pregnancies must receive support and services. Communities should examine their capacity to provide the range of supports and services needed by individuals experiencing unwanted pregnancies. These services must also be publicized; people cannot use services that they do not know about. Finally, education efforts should strive to increase communication among youth, families, and communities. Increased communication may minimize the shame and secrecy associated with an unwanted pregnancy and make young people more likely to take advantage of supports and services in their families and communities.

The other ways to prevent this problem are :

- focusing the prevention programs towards the regions and categories of population with increased risks of dumping; - setting up a coherent reporting and monitoring system as regards the dumping and the risk of abandonment; - hiring social workers in all sanitary units depending on the number of doctors existing in the unit; - hiring community medical assistants and physicians in all the communities presenting increased risks of dumping; - standardizing the written forms and the procedures of registering women which get admitted in maternities in order to give birth; - elaborating procedures for keeping records of mothers and children without identity papers and creating a database on this matter.

Posted by Baby dumping among teenagers in Malaysia at 10:59 PM 7 comments Links to this post There are three effects of Baby dumping.That is effects on individuals, the Baby and society. The effect of individuals is cause by illegal way of aborting the child and left a bad effect on them because of the wrong path, they use to abort the baby just like herbs and alcoholic substances.So, the individual will have high risk of death caused by bleeding and infection on mothers womb's. A professional consultant Gynecology, Prof. Dr. Harlina Halizah Siraj, from "Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia"(HUKM),said this illegal abortion does not take into account the health's aspects could cause harm because it does not follow the procedure that are conducted by unprofessional groups. Another way is dangerous and is not clean by inserting foreign objects into the womb. Women involved who do abortion without proper medical procedures take high risks facing death following infection and bleeding in the uterus. In addition, it is potentially experiencing bleeding in the stomach which can cause the woman unconscious or worse death. Womb also suffered injuries when doing an abortion because those who perform them are traditionally not qualified will use sharp objects such as wood, twigs or wooden sticks. Bleeding sometimes can not be detected quickly, but take a long time. There are not aware of them until they bleed unconscious. Dr Zainul said, the long period of time, it is difficult for pregnant women to do abortion because the process can also cause bowel and uterus problems when sticks channel ovarian one clogged. If a woman is pregnant she may experience a pregnancy outside the womb. For those who had suffered injuries before, the uterus can rupture according to the statistics of death among infants who are not removed by those spontaneously and cause death.Otherwise, the effects of abortion also can cause psychological effects on the mental and emotions after marriage, especially depression, especially when age is often thought of as the content is never removed. Dysphonic effects include experience in the womb, which raised pain more than experience during the menstrual process.

Baby dumping in a modern society A recent spate of dumping children calls into question the mechanisms in place to assist single mothers and disadvantaged parents. But are calls for a safe "baby dump" being made at the expense of more long-term, societal solutions? There is a new, disturbing trend in Amsterdam: Children are being dumped on the street.

In fact, four children have been abandoned in the Dutch capital since the start of 2003 and a fifth child was dumped at Central Station in the autumn of 2002. A baby was also found abandoned in a back shed in Leerdam, south of Utrecht, in June.

The Amsterdam Youth Care Bureau has voiced its concern and chairman Wiel Janssen re-ignited a debate about whether desperate mothers should be able to anonymously leave their unwanted child with social workers, rather than abandoning them on the street. He said the capital should establish a "baby hatch" where a child can be safely and anonymously left for authorities. The hatch is a heated cubicle and when the mother opens it she has several minutes for a final reconsideration, after which the door will close. The baby is kept safe, examined by a medical professional and later placed for adoption. This suggestion comes particularly in response to the dumping of two newborn babies within two weeks of each other in Amsterdam earlier this month. Youth Care said the baby hatch would help prevent such incidents and allow for a safe abandonment. In the latest case, a "shocked and panicked" north Amsterdam woman — originally from Poland — found a baby boy in a plastic bag on the ninth floor of an apartment block and immediately informed her neighbour, Stien Kuijpers, 79. Kuijpers took the boy into her apartment. She said the boy was bloody and the umbilical cord was still attached: "You could see that he was just born". Police and medical staff arrived within 30 minutes and examinations revealed that the baby — who was less than two-hours old when he was found — was in good health. Hospital staff nicknamed the boy "Lieve" (Dear) and police are still searching for his parents. Such stories wrench your heart. He needs his parents, deserves a good home and will one-day want to know who his real mother is. On the other hand, it is difficult to fathom the woman's (and possibly the father's) utter desperation. But the string of abandoned children is at odds with a report last week that a homeless mother carried her stillborn baby around in a bag for several days because she could not bear to let him go. How then can others simply abandon their child? The Council for the Protection of Children says several children are abandoned every year in the Netherlands, mostly by single mothers and that dumping a child is a prosecutable offence. It says that a mother or a couple abandons a child in cases of strict values regarding sexuality and sex before marriage, in the case of rape or incest, when there is fear of threats or concerns about the partner who is not the biological parent, fear of job loss or fear of deportation. The baby hatch offers a safe place to leave a child, but it also gives the impression that abandoning a child is justified, the council says. More than 60 baby hatches have been established across neighbouring Germany since 2000, but they have not led to a corresponding fall in the number of street-abandoned children. A baby hatch in Antwerp, Belgium, was created in 2001, but has not yet been used. Furthermore, the baby hatches are alleged to breach the United Nations child rights convention which states that every child has the right to know who its parents are. But Youth Care chairman Janssens says that a simple right to live should be considered paramount. Notwithstanding this, what is more important is that society should ensure its mothers feel capable, supported, independent and accepted should they choose to keep their child. Fathers also need to be taught they are a vital half of the abandonment equation. Organisations such as VBOK offer help to women (and their partners) who are going through the crisis of an unwanted pregnancy. Its website (www.vbok.nl) says that an increasing number of women are utilising its service and it offers a guesthouse where a girl or woman can stay during the term of her pregnancy. Ultimately though, the organisation works toward an independent position of both mother and child in the community. But in reality, this requires social, moral and economic change. And such change is difficult to achieve, hence the option of a baby hatch can be compared with the chronic drugs problem: Should drug addicts be prescribed their drugs because the problem is so ingrained no solution is feasible?

A baby hatch will hopefully stop a child dying, but the creation of such facilities should not allow our community to avoid tackling the big issues such as social welfare, parental and child support, incest, rape and outdated moral values. We need to protect our mothers and have the courage to identify the weaknesses in our society because quick-fix solutions only offer temporary respite, while failing to solve the underlying inequality, moral discrimination and economic injustice inherent in our modern "civilisation". 18 July 2003

Baby dumping in Malaysia: causes and solutions (2)

14:54, September 14, 2010 Email | Print | Subscribe | Comments | Forum They were left in rubbish bins, on doorsteps and on the streets, prompting the government to consider treating these cases as murder or attempted murder. Dr. Meriam Omar Din, a psychology counsellor at the International Islam University in Kuala Lumpur believes that cultural stigma that emphasizes abstinence is the main reason why pregnant girls are so eager to hide their pregnancy. "What they are doing is against the value of the family. It is like it is a mistake. They become desperate, perhaps they cannot see the right person who can help them find the solution," Meriam said in an interview with Xinhua. "By the time they star thinking, the baby is out. That is the reason why they would rather take the risk then to be rejected by the family. "In our religion, of course having sex (before marriage) is wrong, but throwing away a baby is worse. So I think throwing a baby is no longer caused by religious factor but cultural factor," Meriam added. She said the society's tendency to blame teenage pregnancy on women rather than men -- could also be a contributing factor to the rising cases of abandoned babies. "The woman has to make the decision alone, and they do not have anyone to turn to and the man by then is not there anymore. To them, it is their fault because they are pregnant. The man does not want to get married with them. "If the embarrassment is one factor, if the man still stays and is willing to get married, I do not think they will throw the baby, " said Meriam. Women's shelters like the Kewaja Rehabilitation Centre are havens for many desperate young girls

who are pregnant, helping them recover psychologically and physically while equipping them with skills that could get them a job after delivering a child. These shelters protect them momentarily from relatives and friends. Meanwhile, religious bodies in Malaysia have also geared up to conduct frequent checks on dormitories and hotel rooms against illicit sexual activities. And the Malaysian government is now contemplating on teaching sex education in school -- a much debated move for parents who fear it would promote sexual behaviors at a young age. Malaysians are struggling to curb teenage pregnancies and stop more babies from being abandoned. It is hard to find the perfect solution that everyone agrees on, but experts are now suggesting that it is about time that they stop telling young people what not to do, and instead educating them on how to make the right choices.

Police say most baby-dumping cases involve Malays By Syed Mu’az Syed Putra and Radzi Razak August 20, 2010 KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 20 — Police say a majority of baby-dumping cases involve Malays which observers say is the result of the stigma of illegitimate children and the community being ill-equipped to deal with unwanted pregnancies. While there is no actual racial breakdown available because it is often difficult to determine the race of the babies, police say anecdotal evidence and prosecutions show the majority involve Malays. Police say 13 out of 65 cases involving the dumping of newborns have resulted in prosecutions. All of the accused were Malays. A total of 67 cases were recorded in 2005, 83 cases in 2006, 76 in 2007, 102 in 2008 and 79 in 2009. ACP Hamidah Yunus, deputy director of the CID’s sexual, abuse and children’s investigations division in Bukit Aman, said the actual racial composition could not be given as most cases were unsolved due to a lack of evidence. ―All the 13 who have been charged (this year) are Malays... the ones we cannot solve we do not know, most of the babies found look Malay, but they are actually Indonesians,

Vietnamese and Nepalese... we do not know until we figure out who threw these babies away,‖ Hamidah told The Malaysian Insider. Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Welfare Department told The Malaysian Insider that it was hard to determine the identity or race of the babies who were dumped. ―We cannot really determine the race of the babies who have been abandoned. We can differentiate through their skin colour and facial features. But if a baby is already dead when we find them, it is difficult to determine,‖ said the spokesman.

It is hard to determine the identity or race of the babies who were dumped, says the Welfare Department. — Reuters pic Cases of babies being abandoned have increased from 65 cases in 2005 to 79 cases last year. On average, eight abandoned babies were found each month this year. Hamidah blamed the lackadaisical attitude of the parents for abandoning their babies. Some are too young to get married, so they end up dumping their babies, she said. ―Family plays an important role here. You cannot just depend on the government to tackle this issue,‖ Hamidah said. Sisters in Islam spokeswoman Yasmin Masidi said teenagers who end up getting pregnant are usually ostracised by society, by fears that they will be punished by the religious authorities. ―So when this happens, they leave their babies,‖ said Yasmin, adding that the lack of shelters for pregnant teens contributed to the rise in cases of baby dumping. She added that unprotected sex and incest added to the number of cases although there was no statistical evidence. Yasmin said that since most of the offenders in baby-dumping cases were teenagers, there was a need for sex education to be introduced in school. ―All this while the pressure has always been on the girls to have sex and they are blamed when babies are abandoned.

―Teenage boys should also be taught to take responsibility for their actions,‖ said Yasmin. Malaysian Muslim Lawyers’ Association president Zainul Rijal Abu Bakar said the reason why the majority of baby-dumping cases involved Malays was because there was no control on curbing immoral activities. ―They are doing this due to a lack of religious guidance and I consider this a curse from Allah,‖ said Zainul. Malaysian Syarie Lawyers’ Association deputy president Musa Awang claimed that Malays often took the short cut by abandoning their babies for fear of being shunned by society. ―There is a possibility that other races do not view illegitimate children as an issue. ―Society will often judge harshly in matters like this,‖ said Musa. Jemmah Islah Malaysia (JIM) president Zaid Kamaruddin told The Malaysian Insider that he was shocked by the statistics produced by the police this year. ―What can be understood is that Malays do not practice safe sex, and do not handle the situation well. When they do not handle it well, it affects the rise in such cases,‖ said Zaid. Zaid claimed that Malays were often caught in a dilemma of ―not knowing what to do‖ once they were pregnant with child. ―Yes, it is the responsibility of society to tackle this issue but it still boils down to the individual. They need to take care of themselves,‖ said Zaid. http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/police-say-most-baby-dumping-casesinvolve-malays/
