I saw this, astonished, but it isn't new, or "what are we coming to?" In ancient Athens, there was a place where babies could be left, and any couple wanting one could pick one up. (The problems there could be appalling.) And in medieval Europe, some convents had sort of swing hatches where babies could be put. It has to be better than abandoning them on golf courses or in hedges. Better still to have the society where the problem isn't a problem, but meanwhile, it helps the few - only two last year, apparently, in Hamburg.
