21-year-old woman surrenders her newborn to a Los Angeles fire station, shedding light on the power of Safe Surrender laws.
A 21-year-old woman surrendered her newborn to a Los Angeles fire station this week, shedding light on the power of Safe Surrender laws.
California's Safe Surrender law aims"to save lives of newborn infants at risk of abandonment by encouraging parents or persons with lawful custody to safely surrender the infant within 72 hours of birth, with no questions asked," the fire department said. That same day firefighters in Houston said a"visibly upset" woman dropped off a baby to a fire station, telling the firefighters the newborn was just 1 hour old.Firefighters from Station 21 took care of a newborn after it was dropped off by a woman just after midnight. The crew was told by the woman, who was visibly upset, that the baby was just an hour old. The crew's priority was to get the baby to the hospital ASAP to get checked out. pic.twitter.
Laws also differ on which locations are considered safe havens. In every state, a hospital is a safe location. Some states also allow a child to be taken to a fire station or police station, said Johnson.
