Possible Infant Serial Killer
I have another strange one for you today. Back in 2010, Meredith Katharine Borowiec was arrested for abandoning her infant in a dumpster in Calgary. Two men found the baby wrapped in a plastic bag after they heard him crying. One of the men turned out to be the baby’s father. That is not the […]
Nicole DeJaynes Kills Infant
The tragic story on this link has an interesting evolution. It begins with how the cause of death has been determined for the baby found in a Liverpool dumpster. Police had hoped that the child had been born stillborn and had held off on arresting the mother, Nicole DeJaynes. Unfortunately, cause of death was determined […]
Baby Abandoned by Jessica Cruz, 19, in Salvation Army
This is interesting. These two stories rolled across my desk today. The first one has a police sketch of a woman who abandoned her baby in a Salvation Army store and plea for anyone with information to step forward. The second article, just a day later, shows a picture of the culprit who will be […]
Hospital Prepared for Safe Haven
This news story does not have much new information that we have not reported here at One by One Safe Haven, but it was still a good read. The hospital in the story recently created a formal plan for what to do when a parent wishes to relinquish their rights to their child. It includes […]
Age Limits for Safe Haven Laws
I very much enjoyed this article. It appears to be written from a younger perspective, which I like. I wish more young people who write about Safe Haven Laws. It is a good form of peer pressure since most parents who abandon newborns are teens. All it takes to spread the word so fewer babies […]
Safe Haven Gives Parents Second Chance
Today’s article again demonstrates how effective Safe Haven Laws are. When it is publicized that a newborn has been left at a safe haven, people line up to be able to adopt the child. Some of these parents are unable to have children of their own, but some simply want to ensure the health and […]
Nunu Sung: Should She Get Her Baby Back?
This is a rather complicated legal issue that will be very interesting to follow. A mother, Nunu Sung, 26, is currently in prison for abandoning her son in a neighbor’s yard. The child would surely have died of hypothermia had a dog not alerted the owner’s attention to the boy. The mother pled guilty in […]
Laquasia Wright: Catalyst for Curriculum Changes
A few weeks ago, I am sure you all remember the teenager Laquasia Wright, 18, who threw her infant down a garbage chute. Now school administrators in the area are considering making sex education mandatory to prevent further tragedies like this one. It is far too late for this girl who is being charged with […]
Massachusetts is Leader in Infant Protection
Wow, this was a great article! Did you know Massachusetts has not seen one infant death due to abandonment since Safe Haven was passed? I didn’t. Seven years ago! That’s amazing! From what this article says, it appears as though Massachusetts does a lot more publicity for the Safe Haven Act than many other states. […]
Baby Fine Thanks to Safe Haven
Today’s article is short and straightforward. Some may say this is a rather uninteresting article. Personally, any article that is drama-free and has to do with Safe Haven Laws, I consider to be a fantastic story! An infant was dropped off at a fire station in Lake Mary, Florida. The newborn was healthy and under […]
