The objective for us to create this PSA is to create awareness to the public and provide help for those who need it. We also want to provide some general information on the number of baby dumping cases which has been increasing in our country.

We can educate this group of people as well as the non targeted audience to have a positive mindset and carry their responsibilities well.

As for the other half, announcer starts giving advices and provides
