When a ten-day-old baby ends up in a “window of life,” everyone pretends it’s a bright spot, but the real truth is much darker. Recently in Zagreb, a baby girl was left in a safe cradle, which, they say, is better than being thrown into a garbage bin. But let’s not be naive — this is just the tip of the iceberg of a huge problem society keeps sweeping under the rug.
Remember the case in Zaprešić a year ago when two teenagers found a hypothermic baby boy in trash bins? If they had been just fifteen minutes late, the child would have died. This is not just a tragedy; it’s a system failure.
“Windows of life” are meant as a rescue for unwanted children, but what about the mothers in distress? Where is the support and help? Instead of addressing the real issues, authorities pretend everything is fine because the baby was left in a safe place. It’s like saying, “Hey, at least not on the street!” — as if that’s enough.
The Ministry claims to be strict about the “window of life,” but problems are pushed under the carpet. The legal aspects of abandoning a baby are complicated, and the consequences for mothers and society are huge. This is not just about individual tragedies but a systemic problem that needs urgent attention.
Imagine how many children have gone through such situations, how many mothers have been left without support, how many times society has turned its back. And while we pretend everything is fine, children keep suffering.
If you really care about the future, it’s time to stop being silent and start talking about real solutions. So, what do you think? Are “windows of life” truly a rescue or just a mask for system failure? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s for and who’s against — and if we even have a choice.
