On February 23, 2014, one day after its birth, a baby was abandoned in the baby hatch in Guangzhou and later it was confirmed that the baby was dead. This news put the old topic of “baby abandonment” in front of the public once again. Different from before, this old topic had a new background of the founding of “Baby’s Safety Islands”. The first “Baby’s Safety Island” was founded in Shijiazhuang and it had a lot of social controversy from the very start. The Director of Social Welfare Institute of Shijiazhuang Han Jinhong said: “We cannot change the behavior of abandonment but we can change the results of abandonment.”
The first belief of “Safety Island” is life supremacy. However, can this protective umbrella of life hold a clear sky for abandoned babies?
2014年2月23日,一名出生僅一天的孩子被遺棄在廣州棄嬰島,隨后被證實(shí)夭折。這條新聞將“棄嬰”這一老話(huà)題再度置于公眾面前。但與以往不同的是,老話(huà)題卻有著新的討論背景:那就是“嬰兒安全島”的出現(xiàn)。此前,首個(gè)“嬰兒安全島”在石家莊成立,自其誕生之初便飽受社會(huì)爭(zhēng)議;對(duì)此,石家莊社會(huì)福利院院長(zhǎng)韓金紅曾說(shuō):“我們改變不了遺棄這一行為,但可以改變遺棄的結(jié)果。”
生命至上成為“安全島”的第一宗旨,然而這生命的保護(hù)傘是否能真正為棄嬰撐起一方晴空?
