The Safe Haven law provides safe options for a parent that may be unable or unwilling to care for their infant. Safe Haven allows a parent to anonymously relinquish an unharmed baby to a Safe Haven provider and the parent will not be prosecuted. This law gives a desperate parent a safe alternative to save the life of a newborn. In Indiana, the Safe Haven law provides legal protection for distressed parents relinquishing an unharmed infant up to 30 days old at any staffed police department, firehouse or hospital.
