Hospital to open drop-off for abandoned babies

April 29, 2010

A Vancouver hospital plans to offer a safe haven for troubled mothers who want to abandon their newborn babies anonymously. According to St. Paul’s Hospital staff, a so-called angel’s cradle will be set up in a private area accessible from just outside the entrance of the downtown hospital’s emergency room on Burrard Street, as well as from inside the emergency room itself.
