TL;DR Summary

Two people have been arrested in connection with the abandonment of a newborn girl found behind dumpsters at a Mississippi mobile home park. The baby, who was discovered in good condition, is recovering at a hospital. The incident has sparked discussions about Safe Haven laws, which allow parents to safely relinquish unharmed newborns without risk of prosecution. All 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico, have enacted Safe Haven laws, with some states offering anonymous Safe Haven Baby Boxes as a way for mothers to surrender their babies.
