The African Christian Democratic Party said it is shocked at the stats by police that there is a trend that is emerging which shows that more children are being killed by their mothers. 

ACDP MP Cheryllyn Dudley said the culture and laws in the country regarding celebrating a woman’s right to discard her unborn child needs to change. 

"Once a child is born it creates even bigger problems and if woman feel they have been given a right by society to do what they please with a child then we should be surprised about if these things are happening,” Dudley added.

She concluded by saying that ACDP has been calling for the longest time for a change in culture and the legislation regarding abandonment of children.
