What is the Safe Surrendered Baby Law in California?
According to California's Department of Social Services, the "Safe Surrendered Infant Law" (California Health and Safety Code, Section 1255.7) provides a safe alternative to the surrender of a newborn under specified circumstances. Under the Safely Surrendered Children Act, a parent or person with legal custody may safely surrender a child within 72 hours of birth, confidentially and without fear of prosecution.
It states that the Safe Surrender Child Act requires the child to be taken to a public or private hospital, designated fire station or other safe surrender site, as determined by the local county board of supervisors. There will be no questioning of the person who surrenders under California Penal Code Section 271.5, which protects him from suit for abandonment.
