Closed Introduce a 'Safe Haven' law for abandoned babies here in the UK

Closed on

Create a baby box within public sectors to prevent any babies being “dumped” and to also protect the mothers who have given birth with the after care they may require.

This creates a safe place for the newborn baby, a safe place for the parent. It provides both with the support and after care they may so desperately need. There should be a law that protects the mother from prosecution for doing something that she already feels so terrible about, but wants and needs to do this safely.
