Under the New Jersey Safe Haven Infant Protection Act, infants less than 30 days old who would otherwise be abandoned can be safely, legally and anonymously left at any hospital emergency room, police station, fire station, ambulance, first aid, and rescue squad buildings that are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As long as the child shows no signs of intentional abuse, no name or other information is required and the infant can be left without fear of arrest or prosecution. The Safe Haven hotline is 1-877-839-2339.
