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 […]
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 […]
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. […]

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 […]
Amazing Milestone for Illinois Safe Haven
This was a wonderful article. It begins with an anecdote of one baby who was saved by Safe Haven and is now happy and healthy with her adoptive family. Then, we find out that this story is to commemorate a very impressive landmark in Illinois history: the 1st anniversary of the last child that was […]
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 […]
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 […]
Funding Increase for Tennessee Safe Haven
Great news for the Safe Haven advocates in Tennessee! The state has just granted a $20,000 increase in funding for the Secret Safe Place for Newborns. They will use the money to help spread the word about Safe Haven Laws and ensure children are protected and brought to a safe location if the parents choose […]
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 […]
