Dumpster Baby Found- Given Safe Haven
I just read an article reporting another baby found abandoned in a dumpster. Thankfully, this turned out much better than the last one. The baby is alive and well after being found by John VandenBos. It is an absolute miracle that he did. He found the baby hidden inside a box while looking for cans […]
Kalamazoo County- Baby Found in Dumpster
Here is an update on an article we reported last week. The mother who left her newborn in a box inside a dumpster has not been located. Police are asking for anyone with information about the case to come forward. If you know anyone in this area who was pregnant, but now does not have […]
Abandoned Baby Found in Tennesse Park
Here’s a thought-provoking case. I baby was found abandoned in a Tennessee Park. The child is fine, thank goodness, but there is a question of how old it is. If an abandoned baby is found to be over the 72- hour age limit stipulated by most state laws, the child will still be cared for, […]
Melita Johnson- Safe Haven Law victory?
Here’s an interesting story. A mother dropped her infant off at an approved Safe Haven location and within the 3 day age limit for Tennessee. The baby was unharmed and healthy. Yet, the mother is still facing charges. Why? She filed a false police report stating that she simply found the baby abandoned. The fact […]
Florida Baby saved under Safe Haven Laws

Nebraska’s Safe Haven Laws | More Changes Needed?
I decided to do another flashback story for you today. This is another story that comes from Nebraska before the Safe Haven Laws set an age limit on children that could be given to a safe haven. A man left his nine children at a Nebraska hospital. The mother had recently passed and he felt […]

Angelica Huerta Clark was charged in the murder of her infant a few weeks ago. The child was found in an apartment dumpster in Houston. The infant had no visible wounds, but an autopsy proved that the cause of death was asphyxiation and exposure. What else is there to say about a story like this? […]
The Pros & Cons of Safe Haven Laws
This is an older article, but I came across it today and really liked it. It was published by Time when Safe Haven Laws were first getting started in California. It covers both sides of the issue as far as those who are for the laws and those who are against. One point I thought […]
Looking at Safe Haven Laws in Another Light
Need yet another reason why Safe Haven Laws are necessary? The number of children who grow up in poverty is on the rise. This means that fewer and fewer children have access to healthy foods, vitamins, and medical care. A lot of parents who voluntarily give up their parental rights do so in recognition of […]
Money for Nebraska Safe Haven Laws
I have another interesting article from my home state of Nebraska. Senators are currently voting on a bill which will appropriate $15 million to children under the Safe Haven Law. Although no other children have been abandoned since the age limit was changed last year, they are still aware of the importance of the cause. […]
