In 1999, Texas became the first state to pass a safe haven law for infants. Also known as the Baby Moses law, this law provides a responsible alternative to parents who might otherwise harm or abandon a newborn child in an unsafe place. You can find this law in the Texas Family Code, Chapter 262, Sub-chapter D. Emergency Possession of Certain Abandoned Children.
If I want to leave my baby at a Safe Baby Site, what should I do?
Go to a hospital or fire station and give your baby to a person who works there. Please remember, it is very important that you do not leave the baby at the door or in the parking lot.
