In Italy, a woman who -- for whatever reason -- decides she can't take care of her baby can leave it in a safe haven baby box, in complete anonymity. It’s increasingly rare for Italian women to choose this option, but it still happens. Over Easter, one woman decided to anonymously drop her baby boy into such a box at one of Milan’s biggest hospitals, Policlinico di Milano.

Many would say the event should have been private, as the concept of anonymity suggests. But it wasn't. Instead, the name of the boy -- Enea -- and the letter that his mother left him with, were passed to the media by doctors, who called for the mother to change her mind and take her baby back.
