"I can't imagine the bravery it takes and courage it takes to surrender your newborn," Skaggs said. "I'd like the parent to know, whoever did the surrender, how brave you are. We respect you. There's no shame. You showed grace and love yesterday and it's noticed and your baby's doing well."
Monica Kelsey, the founder of Safe Haven Baby Boxes, said it was "the ultimate act of selflessness." Kelsey's mother abandoned her just hours after her birth.
What the hell is wrong with these people?
Even if this sort of thing is a good idea, people who abandon their kids are pretty despicable. Even if you can't say that, you sure as hell don't go around saying that they are brave, courageous, worthy of respect, etc.
"I’m so thankful she chose a safe place to surrender her child and not in a dumpster or trash can like we see too many times," Kelsey said.
Apparently, now you are entitled to respect if you don't throw your baby into a dumpster.
Well, in the past, unwanted kids were just dumped in the woods. That's why churches/nunneries/etc had anonymous baby drops for freakin' centuries, as an alternative to this.
Now consider that "unwanted kids" weren't always just the perfectly good offspring of a poor/unwed mother, but were quite often visibly retarded/crippled ....

I think it depends on the type of dumpster, need to ensure that the garbage is sorted properly...
In a sense, the baby box is a dumpster for babies.
