The bus station is another most-frequented area for mothers abandoning their chil- dren because there are thousands of people moving in and out of the station, and there is a possibility for the abandoned children to be picked by some individuals who want them for adoption. Moreover, mothers may have the intention to create a wrong impression to the police that they have already moved out of the city. On the other hand, Kebele 32, District 7, is an area where a lot of prostitutes, beggars and daily labourers concentrate, and there are so many people moving around for 24 hours. Consequently, some mothers use this opportunity to abandon their children as it is very difficult to detect them.
