Abandoned Baby Rescued From Cradle Point in Paralakhemundi
A one-year-old baby was found at a 'cradle baby point' in a hospital in India.
This cradle point is a safe place where parents can leave unwanted babies.
Officials rescued the baby after a local activist noticed the child.
The baby is now in the care of an adoption agency and will be available for adoption in two months.
The local government is also creating more of these safe drop-off points near other hospitals to prevent babies from being abandoned in unsafe places.
A one-year-old boy was rescued from a cradle baby point at a district hospital.
The cradle point was established in 2022 to prevent roadside abandonment.
The baby is currently in the care of a specialized adoption agency.
The child will be legally available for adoption after two months.
The district administration is planning to set up seven more cradle points.
