Challenges Faced by Abandoned Babies:
- Health Risks: Abandoned babies are often found with severe conditions like sepsis and dehydration, or critical injuries, which require immediate medical attention.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Many infants found have low birth weight and require specialized nutritional support, without which they may not survive for long.
- Ongoing Medical Needs: Persistent infections and conditions like preterm birth complications demand prolonged medical intervention.
- Mental and Emotional Trauma: Abandonment and neglect can leave babies and young children emotionally scarred, leading to long-term mental health issues if not properly addressed.
