Dear editor, There are many reasons that lie behind child dumping. However, no matter which one, there is no excuse to dump one’s child. This brings to mind a reasonable famous quote “All human beings are mad but the degree of madness varies from one person to another.” When mothers decide to dump and give up their children, I begin to think that this senseless quote is quite true. Is it because women are entangled in so many problems? I just do not understand! Of course, many women know that bearing children is the greatest joy a woman can have. Unfortunately, not all understand this. Imagine a woman throwing a child in rubbish dumps or pit latrines, leaving a baby to die. These kinds of mothers should know that there are better options than throwing away their children. There is the option of orphanages and convents that can take good care of children. On the other hand, mothers can get assistance and advice from reliable sources like organizations that take care of helpless widows and women. In this way, they can find financial support for both themselves and their children. NYARUGENGE
