Unwanted babies in P.G?
State Senate Bill 1368, the “Safe Baby Surrender Bill,” adopted in 2001 and amended in 2005, exempts parents or people holding legal custody of a newborn less than 72 hours old from prosecution for abandonment if the child is surrendered to a hospital or other designated safe surrender site. Fire departments in Seaside and Monterey have been designated such sites because they are staffed 24 hours a day. On Wednesday, the Pacific Grove City Council designated the city fire station as a safe surrender site for unwanted newborns.
Get a doll baby, put it in a blanket & lv. it outside there & see how long it takes before someone picks it up.
That would be abandonment. It is not a leave-the-baby-on-the-doorstep program. Parents/legal guardians are identified and processed, and have 14 days to change their mind. Come on, get your facts right.
This could be good for people who just had a baby and need to go out of town for a week or two. Just “abandon” it and then come back for it later. There are so many places you can’t take a baby.
Lol. That would be something, a free babysitter.
Maybe they could let us drop off puppies, kittens, etc. too?
Do they take teenagers?
They will probably take all of those things as long as they are dressed up as babies.
