Safe Surrendered Baby Law

The safe surrender law responded to an increase in newborn deaths due to abandonment in dangerous areas. "Safe Surrender Baby Act" was originally founded in January 2001 and was signed state law in January 2006. The purpose of the law is to provide safe protection against endangered newborns by encouraging parents or legal guardians to give up safely. The problem does not occur within 72 hours after the baby was born (California Department of Social Services, 2007).

In some areas hatcheries for infants and safe surrender place are provided. Also, the place where mothers anonymously and safely deposit their babies is to reduce the kill rate of infants. In other places like the United States, hedge law allows mothers to provide babies anonymously to designated staff; they are often in hospitals, police stations, fire departments. Usually these babies are taken care of in an orphanage or are taken care of. Giving employment to women can improve their status and autonomy. Employment with income can increase the perception value of women. This may lead to an increase in the number of women who are educated and a decrease in the number of women killed. As a result infant mortality will decline and economic development will increase

In many US states there is now a "safe haven" law that specifies a safe delivery location where parents are allowed to give birth to unwanted babies. These are usually hospitals, police stations or fire departments. In France, women are permitted to give birth at a hospital but if you do not want to do so please leave it to the hospital - there is no problem. To name a few examples, our own baby cabin system has been established in many countries such as Italy, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Japan, Philippines, South Africa and so on. Canada set up the first stroller in the hospital in Vancouver. In Switzerland of Einsiedeln there was a baby incubator for 10 years and even though they just received two babies at that time they felt it was worth keeping it open yet It was. According to the economist, "There are about 200 places where mothers can deposit their babies now in Germany."

A safe surrender sign is displayed for staff assigned to each county hospital or a safe harbor (such as a fire department). You can fill in any health questionnaire, but you do not need any information about who gave the baby. Infants are consulted by a doctor and placed in foster care or adoption medicine. According to law, parents or negligents have at least 14 days to recover a baby who got an encoded bracelet. California and other states have enacted this law to continue the safety and protection of babies. But desperate mothers may leave these babies in unsafe or dangerous places if you do not understand or consider other options. Since the enactment of the law, as of January 2007, 182 babies have surrendered safely. In 2006, 60 babies surrendered. This is the largest number since the project began.
