Life Issues - Expanded Safe Haven
from WIHS FM Online
Tennessee has expanded its Safe Haven Law, giving parents in crisis more places where they can safely surrender a newborn without facing criminal charges. Governor Bill Lee recently signed legislation adding 24-hour ambulance stations to the list of approved surrender locations. Under Tennessee law, an unharmed infant can be surrendered within 45 days of birth at designated facilities, including hospitals, fire departments, law enforcement agencies, and other approved sites. These laws make it easier for parents facing difficult circumstances to find help and prevent unsafe infant abandonment.
