Baby Boy Surrendered Under Safe Haven Law | Columbia News

Another baby boy safely surrendered in Georgetown, South Carolina, bringing this year’s total to seven—just one shy of the record. Weighing nearly eight pounds and over 21 inches, the infant is now in a licensed foster home after a medical check, with court proceedings set for late October. Under South Carolina’s Safe Haven Act—Daniel’s Law—parents can anonymously leave newborns up to 60 days old at hospitals, fire stations, or police departments without fear of prosecution, as long as the child isn’t harmed. This law, designed to protect children and support overwhelmed families, continues to serve as a vital lifeline for parents in crisis.
