Where can unwanted newborns be placed anonymously in Medicine Hat?
MEDICINE HAT, AB. – Police in Calgary are still looking for answers after discovering a deceased newborn in a parking lot on Christmas Eve.
CHAT News reached out to a number of different agencies to find out what options are available for a mother who felt she couldn’t care for a newborn in Medicine Hat. No agency had a clear answer as to where a child could be left anonymously in our city. Many facilities are operating on holiday hours and were not able to provide further information.
Ellen Webb client care coordinator with the Nurture Pregnancy & Family Support Centre, said women with unexpected pregnancies can be agitated and at a loss when looking at options for their child. She explained there could be other factors at play.
