Safe Haven Still Needs Help
This article was excellent, but very hard to read. I do so much research for this website, sometimes I think I may be becoming desensitized by the more and more horrible atrocities that I read. This article surprised me, though. It provided brief explanations for many infanticides one right after the other. It is very […]
Sex Education and Parental Responsibility
Today’s article is short and sweet, but it’s got some great points. First, a lot of women do not realize they are pregnant. TV shows like “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant” definitely illustrate that this is a phenomenon that occurs more often than you would think. Going into labor when you had no idea […]
Ask the Question, Save a Life
This article has a really good point. It mentioned that if you are concerned about a friend or family member that is about to give birth, you should bring up Safe Haven laws. Now, obviously you should not be telling them to give the child up, but just asking if they know about the laws […]
Crash Course on Safe Haven Laws
Wow, today’s article is well-written and encompasses a lot of the issues we talk about here at One By One Safe Haven. It begins with the baby girl who was found in the Mississippi River in Minnesota just a few weeks ago. Then, the author goes into Safe Haven Laws and some of the finer […]
Nick Silverio: Father of Safe Haven in Florida
I love hearing about fundraisers for Safe Haven. There are people who care enough to use their precious time and resources to set up an event and make sure others get involved in Safe Haven charities. This article also tells a short history of Nick Silverio who created the Safe Haven for Newborns in Florida. […]
Solution to Safe Haven Funding?
I enjoyed this article and I think all you fans of Safe Haven out there will, too. The catalyst for the article was the story we reported on from Hendersonville, NC. A mother walked into the Bi-Lo and left her newborn in the bathroom trashcan. The author, Diane Dimond, goes on to give suggestions as […]
One Perspective on Infanticide
The article I want to feature today is purely opinion, but I really like what Susan Reinhardt has written. She offers her perspective on mothers who kill their children, a subject right up our alley here at One By One Safe Haven. I have to agree with her. While postpartum depression is a real thing […]
Safe Havens Need Info From Parents
Hmm. This is a good article, but my thoughts on it are sort of unrelated. It mentions that when parents drop a newborn off at a safe haven location, they are asked to provide more identifying information. This we know, but I had always it just included medical history that may affect the child later […]
Surprising Trends in Infant Abandonment
Wow. Today’s article has some statistics that actually surprised me. It initially talks about how Illinois has expanded Safe Haven locations to include university police stations, which we have already reported on. They then mention that in the decade since Safe Haven was adopted in Illinois, 69 babies were saved by a safe haven location. […]
Safe Haven Saves Texas Children
Today’s article made me smile. It provides a very brief history on Safe Haven. The article points out that over 40 children have been saved in Texas since the inception of Safe Haven Laws. My favorite part is that it compares it to two classrooms of children. I cannot help but smile when I think […]
