 The baby drop box in
Japan called the “Stork’s Cradle” that we talked about sometime back, got a drop finally the very day it was installed.
The baby is a preschooler aged 3, who was dropped by his father. “I came with Daddy,” said the little kid. The father was spotted coming in holding the baby’s hand as he approached the hospital.

 
Sankei Newspaper said, “We must rethink the meaning of the baby drop-off,” “Unlike a baby, a toddler may suffer from trauma. This little boy must be experiencing great loneliness.” This was because the Drop box was intended to reduce the number of infanticides, abortions and was meant only for receiving newborns who were small enough to not remember their past, and not for kids who might get affected by this kind of an act of their parents.

Child Rape laws in
Texas have been revised towards the stricter side. According to the revised rules, sex offenders who are convicted two times for raping children under 14 would be not be considered for any other punishment other than a death penalty.

 
This regulation got an approval on Friday, following which the State House passed the bill. Apart from this rule, another bill creates another new category: continual sexual abuse of a young child or children, carrying a minimum penalty of 25 years to life in prison.

 
It seems a correct move as, there can be no better way to make a country safe for kids and dangerous for offenders other than by issuing punishment as strict as these. Moreover, life imprisonment or any other punishment cannot even suffice to the emotional and psychological trauma that a child has to go through.
