Neonatal abandonment in Japan

Neonatal abandonment (shinseiji-iki) refers to the act of abandoning a newborn infant shortly after birth in places such as parks or restrooms. When a mother kills the infant or in cases of stillbirth, this may constitute injury resulting in death, abandonment by a person responsible for protection resulting in death, or corpse abandonment, and is also referred to as "infanticide" in child abuse research.
