The impact that abandoned babies have on the community is tremendous. Abandoned and neglected babies might grow up lost with no family or person to guide them through lifes daily struggles. This might result in higher crime rate as these babies grow up with no education and thus no money to look after themselves. The impact that abandonment leaves on a child can also be severe. Abandoned children constantly seek for approval and achievements, setting themselves up for failure and leading to trust issues. Babies also might develop the “abandonment syndrome” which is a psychological behavioural condition. This is a serious issue as it may result in the children thinking that they are not wanted or loved thus leading to suicide or crime.
