Safe Havens for Abandoned Newborns
Provider: CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL LOS ANGELES
Under the Safe Haven Law, this county designated site accepts newborn babies up to 72 hours old from parents or individuals with lawful custody who want to anonymously relinquish their child. After 72 hours individuals are not protected under the law. Designated emergency room staff attempt to place a numerically matching ID bracelet on the individual and the baby, and individuals have up to 14 days to reclaim their child. Women who have just given birth may receive emergency medical attention without the threat of criminal prosecution; however, confidentiality will be compromised. Individuals who surrender a newborn in accordance with the Safe Haven Law are immune from criminal liability for child abandonment.
