All said and done, it boils down to the employer and their management. They are the only one directly on hand, instructing and supervising the operators. Yes, loss of life is sad and I truly feel for the family, but any finger pointing should be aimed at his direct supervisor and employer.

As a member of management when an accident occured no matter how major or minor, I always looked for what I could do better. For a very selfish reason, I never wanted to be the person that has to call a wife and give them the news.

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
