CHILD is a priceless gift from Allah SWT. However, baby dumping is a social crisis and has a
chronic increase as many cases are occurring in Malaysian society. The baby dumping refers to
discarding or leaving alone, for an extended period of time, a child younger than 12 months of
age in a public or private setting with the intent to dispose of the child. Based on Bukit Aman
Police Headquarters statistics found a total of 580 babies were found dumped between year
2000 to 2006. This number of cases increase every year where as much as 65 baby dumping
cases has increased to 83 cases in the year 2006. In the first 5 months, almost everyday there
are reports on dumped baby cases.You read it on the front page of the newspaper or see it on
the nightly news...a newborn baby found in a back alley. This scenario had been more serious
from day to day although there are a lot about this in the mass media.
Mostly,among teenagers always seen to be involved in this situation. Teenage parents give
birth in a motel room and leave the child for dead in a dumpster. A girl gives birth in a school
bathroom at night. throws the baby into the garbage or in the toilet.These stories relate to one
of the most frightening realities of our culture today: some children are viewed as problems to
be thrown away rather than gifts to be treasured. More recently, the tragedy of Baby Dumping
has begun to be addressed by state legislatures throughout the nation. For example, a number
of states have passed laws to provide funding, care, and services for dumped children. These
legislative actions have also established 'safe houses' - public centers such as fire stations,
police stations, and other public areas where women can bring unwanted children rather then
leave them in trash receptacles. The hope is that, by offering an alternative to dumping,
women might leave their children with people who can help the baby. Surprisingly, these
cases have got a lot of attention from the community. So, what are the best opinions and ways
that should be taken to prevent this scenario from spreading?

Child dumping is the practice of dumping offspring outside of legal adoption.The dumped child
is called a foundling or throwaway. According to a reliable statistics, one baby is dumped
every week. A figure that has trebled in the past decades. Causes include many social and
cultural factors as well as mental illness.

One factor that leads to child dum ping is teenage pregnancy . T eenage pregnancy
is defined as a teenage or underage girl becom ing pregnant.T his pregnancy of
teenagers are a m ere result of the gratification of sex ual urges. T hat pregnancy
m ight not happen only if studies were prioritized rather than hav ing relationships
with the opposite sex . No prem arital sex , no early pregnancy . Worst thing about
this is that it is the child that will suffer. If not aborted, they are dum ped by their
biological parents.
Another factor is the fam ily break-up. Fam ily break-ups happen after a long period
of m isunderstandings, fighting and unhappiness. Som etim es they happen
suddenly and it is hard to understand why there needs to be change at all.
Children are m ostly affected by this kind of situation. If both their m other and

father decided to a div orce and one cannot raise their child alone, tendency is that
they will dum p their child. T his child will becom e hom eless and found him self
alone.
Pov erty is also another factor that causes child dum ping. Persons in cultures with
poor social welfare sy stem s who are not financially capable of taking care of a
child are m ore likely to dum p him /her. Political conditions, such as difficulty in
adoption proceedings, m ay also contribute to child dum ping, as can the lack of
institutions, such as orphanages, to take in children whom their parents cannot
support. Societies with strong social structures and liberal adoption laws tend to
hav e lower rates of child dum ping.
Psy chologists believ e that ev en short-term dum ping can dam age a childs
em otional and social dev elopm ent. Ev en short separations could hav e a negativ e
effect on the childs ability to form close relationships, said Dr Michael Boulton, a
child psy chologist at the Univ ersity of Keele. Babies often form attachm ents with
their m other before birth. T hey know their m others sm ell and turn to them when
anx ious or distressed. If they suddenly find they hav e gone it can be v ery
dam aging.
Dr Boulton said that m others who dum p their children norm ally do so under
desperate circum stances. Hav ing ones first child is the m ost stressful ex perience
som eone can go through. Y oung m others can be v ulnerable, especially if they are
alone and do not hav e the ex perience or social support to cope.

PREVENT ION
Long-term solutions to the problem of baby dum ping require efforts at
prev ention. Steps m ust be taken to prev ent unwanted pregnancies, prov ide
assistance to parents in crisis, and increase com m unication within fam ilies and
com m unities.

Sex uality Education

Baby dum ping presum ably results from unwanted pregnancy . T o prev ent baby
dum ping, it is therefore ultim ately necessary to educate indiv iduals about
sex uality . We supports age-appropriate com prehensiv e sex uality education, and
recom m ends that schools and com m unities prov ide com prehensiv e sex uality
education to all y outh and fam ilies.
Responding to Unwanted Pregnancy
Indiv iduals ex periencing unwanted pregnancies m ust receiv e support and
serv ices. Com m unities should ex am ine their capacity to prov ide the range of
supports and serv ices needed by indiv iduals ex periencing unwanted pregnancies.
T hese serv ices m ust also be publicized; people cannot use serv ices that they do
not know about. Finally , education efforts should striv e to increase
com m unication
am ong y outh, fam ilies, and com m unities. Increased
com m unication m ay m inim ize the sham e and secrecy associated with an
unwanted pregnancy and m ake y oung people m ore likely to take adv antage of
supports and serv ices in their fam ilies and com m unities.

T he other way s to prev ent this problem are :

- focusing the prev ention program s towards the regions and categories of
population with increased risks of dum ping;
- setting up a coherent reporting and m onitoring sy stem as regards the dum ping
and the risk of abandonm ent;
- hiring social workers in all sanitary units depending on the num ber of doctors
ex isting in the unit;
- hiring com m unity m edical assistants and phy sicians in all the com m unities
presenting increased risks of dum ping;
- standardizing the written form s and the procedures of registering wom en which
get adm itted in m aternities in order to giv e birth;
- elaborating procedures for keeping records of m others and children without
identity papers and creating a database on this m atter.

" Hav ing sex after m arriage is safer and it can reduce the abortion and baby
dum ping rate. It also helps us be m ore responsible and not to hav e sex just to
satisfy our lust "

There are three effects of Baby dumping.That is effects on individuals, the Baby and society.
The effect of individuals is cause by illegal way of aborting the child and left a bad effect on
them because of the wrong path, they use to abort the baby just like herbs and alcoholic
substances.So, the individual will have high risk of death caused by bleeding and infection on
mothers womb's. A professional consultant Gynecology, Prof. Dr. Harlina Halizah Siraj, from
"Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia"(HUKM),said this illegal abortion does not take into
account the health's aspects could cause harm because it does not follow the procedure that
are conducted by unprofessional groups. Another way is dangerous and is not clean by
inserting foreign objects into the womb. Women involved who do abortion without proper
medical procedures take high risks facing death following infection and bleeding in the uterus.
In addition, it is potentially experiencing bleeding in the stomach which can cause the woman
unconscious or worse death. Womb also suffered injuries when doing an abortion because
those who perform them are traditionally not qualified will use sharp objects such as wood,
twigs or wooden sticks. Bleeding sometimes can not be detected quickly, but take a long time.
There are not aware of them until they bleed unconscious.
Dr Zainul said, the long period of time, it is difficult for pregnant women to do abortion
because the process can also cause bowel and uterus problems when sticks channel ovarian
one clogged. If a woman is pregnant she may experience a pregnancy outside the womb. For
those who had suffered injuries before, the uterus can rupture according to the statistics of
death among infants who are not removed by those spontaneously and cause death.Otherwise,
the effects of abortion also can cause psychological effects on the mental and emotions after
marriage, especially depression, especially when age is often thought of as the content is
never removed. Dysphonic effects include experience in the womb, which raised pain more
than experience during the menstrual process.

EFFECT ON INFANTS
*Infant mortality rate is higher due to medical care is not perfect
* according to statistics infant mortality by unresponsible person in 2 year s ago, had increased
135 case from 2008 to 2009.
*cause contempt, regarded by society as adults
*problem if you want to marry because there is no guardian
*difficult for schools because there is no birth registration

EFFECTS ON SOCIETY
-Cause the abortion will be mimicked by others.
most cases of baby dumping in the county are using the same way that removes a newborn
baby into the trash. This shows there is replication of their cruel way to remove the baby into
the the trash.
-the case has become wide.
-negative views from society.
