Baby Dumping
I’m proud to be a Malaysian but what happened recently make me thinking….?? Our country, Malaysia has become the most favorite spot for dumping babies. The year 2010 is also known as Baby Dumping cases for Malaysia which brings a lot of questions and issues. Baby dumping is a social crisis and has a chronic increase as many cases are occurring in Malaysia country. We have heard about fruit season, fever season but this is the first baby dumping season in Malaysia. New Year celebration and Valentine’s Day known as ‘mating season’ nowadays leads to unwanted pregnancies among youths.
Child is a priceless gift from God but the youths still carry on their activity for their enjoyment. The news are so horrifying such as ‘Body of baby found in dustbin’, ‘Dead baby found in casino trash bin’ and ‘Dogs found baby in bag’. This scenario had been more serious from day to day although there are a lot about this in the mass media.
The baby is not guilty. Why are they punished in such a way because of their own unknown parent’s mistakes? How the teenagers can throw their own baby in such a horrified situation? Don’t they think at least once before they did their action? Is sex is very important for them until they can forget the world? Or they are lack of sex education? What is the use of condoms? Where did they learn to cover their mistakes? Is this their religious teach them? What are the best opinions and ways that should be taken to prevent this scenario from spreading? Is this scenario will continue without ending? Who should we blame - the parents of teenagers, media, teenagers, school, government or friends? Questions by questions coming over but no solution until

    How Do Society's Ideas About Children Change over Time? Why Is This Significant for Those Working with Children and Families?

    A child is legally defined as a ‘Minor’ which is used to ‘refer to a person who is under the age in which one legally assumes adulthood and is legally granted rights afforded to adults in society’ (The Free Dictionary, 2000). The definition of ‘Childhood’ is a ‘The time or state of being a child’ (The Free Dictionary, 2000). Many children in today’s society and in the past did not get the opportunity to experience this, as children were seen like little adults who took part in the same work as adults such as Indian children are still seen today working in factories. However, I believe in today’s British society, lives are more enjoyable for children better than ever before. They have extraordinary expectation of longer lives then 50 years ago, including their parents living healthier, happier and longer lives. This is due to children in Britain today receiving a decent education and technology offering astonishing benefits to their understanding of the world, but most of all they have their rights to be heard. The change of childhood has changed in recent years, which has improved the material circumstances in some situation, better health and education, and children are more likely to play and spend time more indoors doing activities that will keep them away from crime.…

    Intersection of Law and Ethics : Immigration Law, Right of Abode in HKSAR

    This act of the Government is apprehensible from the data of local and non-local pregnant women giving birth in public hospitals in the past five years. Together with the data from private hospitals, it soared from a few hundreds in 2004 to around 40,000 last year, contributing nearly 40% of total new born rate (88,000) in Hong Kong. The Government is encountering many problems. This is straining HK’s overall health-care system, not only on obstetric services (affecting those for the local mothers), but also infants intensive care units, and future health-care services (there were even outstanding obstetric fees when some mainland mums who left the hospitals). Brain-drained problem of medical professionals due to the tremendous workload in the…

    How Far Have Ideas About Childhood Changed Over The Centuries?

    New concepts of childhood have been established to an enormous extent over the centuries. Over the course of the 18th and 19th centuries people have had different ideas of childhood and how children should be raised. On the contrary, as society has developed, perceptions about childhood have arisen. In modern society people have grown and have recognised new notions of childhood. Today, the media plays a large role in the way children are brought up. Society also faces differences with adversities in child imprisonment as children are viewed children as innocent thus causing punishments to become less punitive. Also there has been a large difference of teenage pregnancies…

    are not safe in their own homes; where they are supposed to be the happiest. The bedroom (which supposedly for a child is a haven) is shown as a dark and gloomy place where the child repulses going to. Comparatively in the poster with boy (poster 2) the setting is in a public place notifying us that child prostitution is taking place right under our noses and we are blindly rejecting it. The public toilets in poster 2 is also dirty this illustrates to me that the children are being forced to such horrifying deeds in unsanitary situations that there health is of no concern to the adults using them.…

    Why Is Abortion Legal In The United States

    Those are very heinous crimes but the child did nothing wrong. Most people hide their rape so it would be very hard to prove anyway. If the child remains a reminder to the mother of that night, the baby could be given up for adoption. The baby should not have to suffer for its father’s crime. Only 1% of women actually have an abortion due to rape or incest.…

    Infanticide

    Despite the clear prohibitions against child-murder by all major religions, female infanticide has been for centuries a prominent and socially acceptable event, notably in one of the most populous countries in this world, India. Even today, the extent of the problem is measured in alarming proportions all around the globe: "at least 60 million females in Asia are missing and feared dead, victims of nothing more than their sex. Worldwide, research suggests, the number of missing females may top 100 million." The data is more astounding in India. According to the Census Report of 2001, for every 1000 males the number of females has decreased to 927 in 2001 from 945 in 1991 and continues to decrease. It is clear that the burdensome costs involved with the raising of a girl, eventually providing her an appropriate marriage dowry, was the single most important factor in allowing social acceptance of the murder at birth in India. Nonetheless, in addition to the dowry system, the reasons for this increasing trend have also been attributed to the patriarchal society, poverty and the availability of sex-selective abortion.…

    ANTI Abortion

    First, if women become pregnant, they should accept the responsibility that comes with having a child. People need to take responsibility for their actions and accept the consequences. Having sexual intercourse, even when contraceptive methods are used, carries with it the risk of a pregnancy. The unborn baby should not be punished for a mistake made by adults. If women are unprepared to care for their children, they should at least put them up for adoption.…

    Abortion in Thailand

    In this globalized era, abortion is one of the most controversial issues in the world. Abortion is the main way to get rid of the fetus or embryo which is the end of pregnancy (Roe, 2002). There are many people confused about the difference between fetus and embryo. The embryo is the first three months of the development to be a child. The fetus is called for a child in the womb after the first three months (Warner & Rosenberg, n.d.). However, in these nine months of pregnancy, it is the time for many mothers who have many different personal reasons to terminate the pregnancy by getting an abortion. There are many means of abortion which is specified by the stage of the pregnancy and the preference of each person. There are two main methods of abortion which are surgical methods of abortion and medical methods of abortion. The surgical methods of abortion can be divided into three types according to the duration of the pregnancy. The first main way of surgical abortion for the first trimester is called vacuum aspiration. The second trimester uses the method called dilation and evacuation. The third trimester uses the method which is similar to means in the second trimester, but it is a lot more complicated (Warner & Rosenberg, n.d.). In Thailand, there are many illegal abortion clinics which are mainly located around Bangkok and rural areas (Narkavonnakit, 1979). Recently, the police officers found hundreds of human fetuses in the temple called Wat Phai Ngern. There are more than 3 hundreds of human fetuses in the temple’s morgue (Uribarri, 2010). A few days later, the police found more dead babies which is raised the number up to more than thousands fetuses in the same temple. At present, the police was able to arrest the owner of the illegal abortion clinic named Lanjakorn Jantamanas. She said to the police that she also received dead babies from many abortion clinics from many districts in Bangkok to the undertaker of the temple and earned 500 Baht for each…

    ABANDONED bUNDLE

    On Tuesday, yet another baby was added to a long list of newborns dumped by their mothers soon after birth – one of an estimated 200 found abandoned in Joburg and Soweto every month. On an average, only 60 are found alive each month. Wrapped in a black refuse bag and tossed into an open field at Dhlamini in Soweto, it was the little boy’s movements that caught the attention of a 13-year-old passerby. This baby was rescued and taken to hospital for treatment – unlike the baby found dead in a basket in Soweto last month, or the one whose remaining limbs were seen eaten by a pig in Taung, North West, last year. Only two days earlier, another newborn had been left on the doorstep of a house in Zola, Soweto. “We don’t know who dropped the child off on the doorstep… We are appealing to residents to assist us,” said Makhubela.…

    It’s wrong to blame the pregnant student entirely. It may not be their own fault. Most of the pregnant actually don’t wish their pregnancy. It is possible that the students are the victim of rappist, the victim of pornography, or the victim of their boyfriends who forces to do sexual intercourse, or the victim of unhealty social intercourse.

    The Invasion Of Mainland Mother Brigade

    In the recent ten years, it is observed that the number of mainland mothers giving birth in Hong Kong undergoes an upward trend. According to Census and Statistic department, during 2001 to 2010, the number of babies born to both non-local residents has been soared from 620 to 32,653. Some said it brings positive effect as Hong Kong is facing both low fertility rate and aging problem. However, some said the influx of mainland mothers deprives local mothers of enjoying medical services, also arising problems such as obtaining permanent residency and occupying quotas of free education system. Thus, pregnant women from mainland has become a controversy among the society, also broaden the contradiction between mainlanders and Hong Kongers. Personally, I do agree with the influence that mainland mothers brings out although its positive effects cannot be neglected.…

    News headlines about the heinous parent acts against children such as abuse, assault and rape are more than just disturbing. They are shocking. Most of us can’t imagine what would make adult use violence against children, and the worse the behavior is, the more unimaginable it seems. It is only right that we bring forth the issue of these despicable acts. Protecting children from harm and violence is not just the duty of the authorities concerned. Society has to play its part as well.…

    Children's Rights

    ‘Regarding that the child, for the full and harmonious development of his or her personality, should grow up in a family environment, in an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding,’ states the internationally ratified Convention on the Rights of the Child which came into force in 1990 in its fifty-four articles. Unfortunately, these high ideals are not being achieved in for too many places, leading to suffering and even death for our children. There are various legal, social and biological definitions of ‘children’ and they are generally considered as young people up to eighteen years. ‘The world’ can be defined as the institutions that guarantee the well-being of children, and ‘failing’ means not providing the required standards of care. Thus, we find children being punished, children without health care, children forced into becoming soldiers and even children being taken away their education.…
