Every year in Seoul, South Korea, hundreds of unwanted newborn babies are murdered or abandoned by their parents and left for dead.
While the epidemic seems to get worse each year, one man is one a crusade to save these children that no one else wants. Pastor Lee Jong-Rak is a simple man who saw the devastating problem and knew there had to be a better way. The Pastor is the creator of the 'Baby Box' and when you hear his touching story, you will never be the same again.
He created the Baby Box as a way for parents to leave their unwanted newborns in an anonymous way and guarantee their survival. The box is heated and attached to the Pastor's church. A person simply opens the box and leaves their baby inside. One young mother left a tragic note with her baby saying things like "I leave you here because I don’t know who your father is. I used to think about something bad, but I guess this box is safer for you. That’s why I decided to leave you here. My son, Please forgive me.”
As you can see, the women who leave their babies here want their children to grow up with a better life. A young documentary filmmaker named Brian Ivie heard about the Pastor's story and made a touching film called "The Drop Box". Here is the trailer for this touching story.
