The Krasnodar Territory in south Russia bought five of the so-called baby drop boxes in the beginning of November so mothers could drop off unwanted children anonymously, Daily Mail reported Saturday.

The first three were installed in Sochi, Novorossiysk and Armavir, and by the end of the month one child had already been left.

The move was aimed at providing sanitary conditions for unwanted children, instead of "having them left in garbage containers," Elena Redko, the head of the Krasnodar Health Department told Ria Novosti.

She said the first dropped-off child, a baby girl, was healthy and would be passed to childcare officials. (点击《每日邮报》查看原文)

俄城市设“弃婴收集箱”

       据《每日邮报》周六报道,从去年11月起,俄罗斯南部的克拉斯诺达尔地区购置了五个所谓的“婴儿投递箱”,收集匿名母亲遗弃的婴儿。

       其中三个首先被放置在索契市、诺沃西比尔斯克市和阿尔马维尔市。到11月底,已经有一名婴儿被留在箱子里。

       克拉斯诺达尔地区卫生部门官员埃琳娜•里德科告诉俄新社说,此举旨在为弃婴提供一个卫生的条件,“防止他们被扔到垃圾箱里”。

       她还说,收到的第一名弃婴是个女孩,很健康,将会被移交给儿童托管部门。
