This summer a newborn baby was found dead in a restaurant
bathroom in eastern Pennsylvania.
This fall, police found a dead baby in a teenager’s shopping
bag after catching her shoplifting in Manhattan. The teen said she had given birth a few days
before and didn’t know what to do with the baby.
Women need to know that there is a place they can take their
newborn baby if they can’t take care of him/her.
In Pennsylvania, the Safe Haven Law allows a mother to drop
off her newborn at any hospital, no questions asked. Some hospitals even have a crib in their
lobby for the baby. The baby will be
examined by a doctor. Then the county
children and youth agency will find a family to take care of the baby.
