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 […]
Tennessee Has Fundraiser for Safe Haven
Cheers to Secret Safe Place for Newborns Tennessee who had a fundraising luau for Safe Haven last month. I am sorry I did not see this article before the benefit, but I still want to cover it. I am so happy there are organizations out there with people willing to give up their time and money […]
Update on Michaela Marshal
This article provides many more details about the mother, Michaela Marshal 26, who went door-to-door attempting to find someone to take her newborn. The first article I read stated that she was attempting to sell her. This article makes no mention of this fact. It also appears as though her blood alcohol level was only […]
Another Case of Baby Selling: Michaela Marshal
Surprise, surprise. Just last week I reported on a mother trying to sell her infant at a Taco Bell. I had said it apparently happens more than I had realized. Case in point: it has happened again. Michaela Marshal, 26, went door-to-door asking people to buy her child. Her blood alcohol level was three times […]
What Happens at a Safe Haven?
We already covered the issue of the infant found in a trash can in South Bend, but I perused this article anyway. I am glad I did. It has some information I found very interesting. I have tried to make it clear exactly what parents can expect when they relinquish their parental rights to a […]

Dead Baby Found in Hospital Trash
Every time I think a story of infant abandonment just cannot get any worse… I am proven wrong. A newborn was found in a garbage can. That does not sound so outrageous when compared to some others stories we have reported. That newborn was first placed in a plastic bag. That is worse, but still […]
Support for Caylee’s Law
Today I would like to talk about Caylee’s Law. I know the subject has been talked about for months, but I do want to stress the importance of this law. While it came about in a horrible, tragic way, it will hopefully save lives in the long run. This proposed law, brought on by the […]
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 […]
Easy Ways to Spread Safe Haven Law Details!
Again, another short article (click here), but it reminds me of a bigger picture. This was just a short mention of the case I covered not long ago about the baby killed with a cinderblock. It was reported on a local news website. I wish this was done more often. If just once a week […]
