Safe Haven

A fourteen-year-old girl in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, was arrested after the secret delivery and killing of her newborn baby, highlighting a tragic situation involving a minor. Louisiana's Safe Haven Law allows parents to safely and anonymously surrender newborns up to sixty days old at designated locations, including hospitals, fire stations, and law enforcement stations, with new Safe Haven Baby Boxes installed in Slidell and Covington to provide additional secure surrender options.
