Lindsey Lowe May Get Death Penalty
I have an update on Lindsey Lowe, the woman who smothered her newborn twin boys just after delivery. She has been charged with murder and prosecutors may seek the death penalty in this case. This case still shocks me. This is not a typical scared teenager with few options or support. She is a 25 […]
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 […]

I have an update on Nunu Sung, 26, the refugee from Myanmar who abandoned her child. She is still in jail for lying to police about the incident, but will soon be paroled. You can read the article for the full details, but I have some thoughts. From reading this article I found out that […]
Baby Abandoned at Hendersonville, NC Bi-Lo
Another tragic story of infant abandonment. This one comes to us from Hendersonville, North Carolina. A baby was found in the trash can of a Bi-Lo women’s room.

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 […]

The article describes the memorial service that the Northumberland County community […]
An Informed Decision is a Good Decision
I enjoyed this article. It is exactly the sort of information we report here at One By One Safe Haven and it is always nice to hear someone else who shares our passion on this issue. One point in particular that I like is when she brings up the “Just Say No” slogan. She points […]
Infant Abandoned Outdoors at a Trailer Park
Another baby was abandoned in an unsafe, outdoor location. The mother Sara J. Clauson, 26, has been charged with reckless endangerment for the incident. She gave birth and then left the child on a neighbor’s lawn in the trailer park where she lived. The baby was alone for 6 hours before she was discovered. I […]
Does the Prevalence of Infanticide Signify a Problem with Society?
This article does not deal with a specific scenario involving infanticide, but speaks about the problem in general and why it is so persistent. One quote really stands out to me and is the today’s topic: Infanticides “…are the tragic outcome of specific situations, but they are also evidence of pervasive problems in society – […]
Rebecca Blackmore Charged with 1st Degree Murder for Stabbing her Infant
Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse than a father dropping a cinderblock on his newborn baby… …until I see this article where 16-year-old Rebecca Blackmore actually stabbed her infant and left it in a closet to die. First of all, where were this girl’s parents? Did no one notice that she was pregnant? […]
