The harsh streetlights illuminate a small, lonely box on the busy pavement. Inside lies a six-month-old boy, clad only in a soiled, leaking diaper. Shivering from the cold and hunger, he lets out a wail of distress. As you approaches, the infant stops crying, his eyes locking onto the stranger. With a desperate hope, he extends his tiny hands, reaching out to be saved.
