12.Abandoned babies can be left in a‘baby hatch'at a German hospital where newborns are looked after and put up for adoption.
The heated box,lined with a pillow and blankets,is at Berlin's St Joseph hospital.Mothers can leave their unwanted children at the baby hatch,and statistics show it is used about twice a year.
The stainless-steel hatch slides out and after a person has placed their baby inside and slid it shut,it touches an alarm inside the hospital so staff can pick the child up.It takes about two or three minutes for staff to get to the hatch so the parent has enough time to slip away without being noticed.
Inside the box is a letter which tells the mother German authorities will look after the baby for eight weeks.Mums that change their mind can come back to reclaim their babies within two months.However,if the parent does not come back to be reunited with their child after the two months it well be put up for adoption.
The practice was common in medieval times but has come under fire from the UN recently,the BBC reports.It believes that children have a right to know who their parents are and that right is denied to children left in the baby hatch.
The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child says there are baby boxes across Europe but Germany has the most with 99across the country.
However,some people support the use of baby hatches.They argue without such places of safety,parents conceal (隱藏) newborns in hidden places that are not easily found,causing the deaths of many unwanted babies.
German chancellor Angela Merkel put forward legislation (立法) earlier this year to find an alternative to baby hatches.
Women will be allowed to give birth without revealing their identity to anyone outside the hospital.The information would be kept for 16years which would allow children who have been abandoned to find out who their birth mother is when they are older.
