[At least this is the first baby drop-box since 1758 (See Donzelot, _The Policing of Families_, p. 26.) It's so nice to get back to these old-timey family values.]
- Nation's first "baby drop-box" installed in Hamburg
Hamburg. Germany's first so-called "baby drop-box" was put into service today. In Hamburg, desperate women can now drop off their newborn children anonymously and without fearing criminal prosecution. The infants will be laid into a warmed bed behind a steel hatch. Sensors will alert medical personnel which will rush to care for the baby. The baby drop-box is meant to prevent children from dying as a result of being abandoned somewhere.
