Baby girl turned over to the state under Safe Haven law

October 1, 2020 By Dar Danielson

The Iowa Department of Human Services reports a baby has been turned over to the state under the Safe Haven procedure.

DHS says the baby girl was born on September 13th — but other details are not being released to protect the parents’ identity. Parents can leave infants who are 30 days old or younger at a hospital or health care facility without fear of prosecution for abandonment.

This is the 45th time a child has been turned over to the state since the Safe Haven law went into effect in 2001.
