Answer to Question 1

The student should indicate that safe haven laws are abandoned baby laws which protect the mother who abandons her newborn at a designated place such as a hospital or police station. These laws protect babies from abandonment in dangerous situations. They reflect a centuries-old European tradition. The first such law was enacted in Texas in 1999. Safe haven laws attempt to reduce neonaticide of children left in unsafe environments. Both conservative and liberal groups endorse these laws, which may be responsible for a decline in the number of babies illegally abandoned and found dead. However, some argue that these laws actually induce abandonment, deprive biological fathers of their legal rights to care for their offspring, and ensure that the children who are abandoned can never learn their medical or genealogical histories.

Answer to Question 2
