There are options for mothers who want to surrender their babies. It's called the Florida Safe Haven Law.

Under the law, you can take a baby who's less than 7 days old to any hospital, emergency medical service station, or fire station.

The parents will not face prosecution under that law, as long as they drop the baby off in person.

A baby cannot be left outside.
