Hospitals are large and often imposing institutions. Many people associate their tall buildings and cold, clinical atmosphere with poor health and even dangerous conditions.

If you can't take care of your newborn and have nowhere to turn in Los Angeles, for example, take the infant to any L.A. County Hospital Emergency Room or Fire Station, and hand the baby to an employee. This will grant anonymity under the Safely Surrendered Baby Law. Don't just leave him or her on the...
