Loathsome treatment of infants

We have been hearing news of newborn babies being dumped in dustbins in polythene bags across the country. Earlier last month, a newborn baby girl was discovered in a dustbin in the Shah Ali Beribad area of Mirpur. These are incredibly disgusting and inhumane acts. It forces us to question why the society has sunk so low, why these things are happening, and how we can stop it. 

We praise those people who do not hesitate to take these babies into their families and nurture them as their own. We hope these children will not disappoint their foster parents, and care for them when they are in need of it.
