Dumping babies is inhuman
I felt a need to write this letter after a newborn baby was found abandoned at the Tzaneen Showground last Saturday.

What has our world turned into? Why is there so much cruelty among us people?
I felt like a part of me has been ripped off, the child is not mine but the pain that I felt, I still can not explain it.
Imagine the innocent soul. She does not know what is happening around her, she has no idea where she is.
Leaves covering her face, she can not talk, all she does is cry and the worst part there is no one to comfort here.
I am a mother myself, and I worry about my children. On the way to work I think to myself, are my children safe?
My fellow women what made us to be so heart less, with not even a little conscience left?
Tears ran down my cheeks when I heard the story of the abandoned newborn girl, I asked myself what kind of a woman would do that to a child who cannot even defend herself.
Children are gifts from God. He blesses us with these harmless souls to ensure that the human kind does not become extinct.
Our children need us, their mothers, to make them feel loved and cared for. Imagine the pain a child will feel finding out that she was once an abandoned bundle.
That she was found in the bushes covered with leaves all over her face. Mothers let us give these children love and ensure that we do not put them in any danger because it is our duty to make sure that they are safe.
If you give birth to a child and you feel you can not take care of the child for any reason, please inform the health workers at the hospital or clinic and they will ensure that the child is taken to a place of safety, where she will get responsible parents to adopt her and offer her a better life.
Or even better let us abstain so that we do not bring innocent souls to this world to make them suffer.
