Back in 1999, German pastor Gabriele Stangl heard a confession from a woman who said she had been brutally raped, became pregnant and had a baby that she then killed and buried in the woods near Berlin. There are a lot of women in desperate situations like these on a daily basis all over the world and Stangl wanted to do something to help. In 2000, she convinced Waldfriede Hospital to create Berlin’s first "baby box." It’s actually a warm incubator that can be opened from an outside wall of a hospital. A parent can anonymously leave an infant someplace safe. A small door opens into the box, equipped with a motion detector, causing an alarm to go off in the hospital to alert staff two minutes after a baby is left. The parent has enough time to leave without being seen.Image may be NSFW.
