What you know about North Carolina's Safe Surrender Law could save a life.
The risk of homicide on the first day of life is 10 times greater than at any other time of life.
North Carolina’s Safe Surrender Law allows an overwhelmed parent to surrender a newborn to a responsible adult and walk away. The baby will then be placed in a loving home.
An infant up to 7 days old may be surrendered to any responsible adult.
Safe surrender is anonymous and legal.
In an emergency call 911, or for more information about the safe surrender law contact your local county department of social services. A listing of county departments of social services is available at www.ncdhhs.gov/dss/local.
