“Throughout the year, knowledge about abandoned and discarded newborns comes to us more than once. This week we surprised by the incident when a newborn was left on the stairs. Fortunately, he was saved. Another tragic message today about a discarded and unfortunately not surviving baby.

The reasons why women who have just given birth are still determined to take that step are many and varied. It is possible to ask questions why people in our society still find themselves in such difficult situations and make such drastic decisions, – D.Nausėdienė writes in his speech to the Lithuanian media.

And one may ask: how can I take and change the situation? How do I react, can I be more socially sensitive, more active? What untapped opportunities do I have as a social partner? What can I do to prevent this from happening again?

D.Nausėdienė addresses all media representatives with a proposal to “activate the potential of good practice” when reports of suicide and violence are accompanied by contacts from various emergency services.

“It is important to society that a person in a similar situation, haunted by difficult thoughts, wandering at the crossroads of threatening options, realizes that they can get help and know where to look for it. This requires outreach. Each painful case shows that it is precisely this part of society that is missing, especially in social and regional exclusion.

It is important for women and men to realize that a baby can be secure in the cell of life without depriving the baby of his life, without endangering his health and without fear of legal prosecution.

I believe not only in your fundamental duty to inform, but also in our honorable mission to educate the public. You are already doing it. I ask everyone to use good journalistic practice more widely: when writing in the press or reporting on the radio, on social media about painful events like abandonment, abandoned baby, violence, be sure to report and that all women Pregnant women can get help in a crisis. pregnancy centers, social assistance services.

It is important for women and men to realize that a baby can be safe in the cell of life, without depriving the baby of his life, without endangering his health and without fear of legal persecution, “she writes The First Lady.

According to D.Nausėdienė, reports of painful events related to babies should include the addresses of crisis pregnancy centers, vital cells in Lithuanian cities and contacts of psychological and other support services.
