Spring, TX –
Long ago, on that fateful day under the Baby Moses Law, a firefighter from Spring recounted the story of a mother who brought her newborn child to the station.
John Nanninga, a firefighter, discussed the incident with Brittany Jeffers of KPRC 2 in Spring.
My lack of experience in such a setting made me anxious. Even though we were as anxious as the mother, Nanninga assured the mother that her support team was fully committed to the infant.
While the mother is free to go about her business, we will gather as much information as she is willing to provide to ensure the child’s well-being and care while we are out in the field providing service. The child will be cared for and we will ensure that the child is cared for.
Tell me, then, how does it work?
Parents face a difficult choice, but there is a designated secure place they may take their newborn to if they are unable to care for them.
Another name for the Safe Haven Law is the Baby Moses Law, and it allows parents who are unable to care for their kid to legally leave their infant with a staff member in a designated safe site, such as a fire station or hospital.

An ambulance, firehouse, or hospital bearing the Safe Haven sign is the place to go, according to Nanninga. He explained that the first thing to do if you are unable to care for an infant is to ring the bell and wait for the firefighters to arrive.

After the baby has been seen by a doctor, they will transfer them to an emergency room.
No charges of abandonment or negligence will be filed against you if you leave your healthy baby at a Safe Haven.
After the state of Texas saw an increase in child abandonments, Rep. Geanie Morrison discussed the Baby Moses Law, saying it “needs to be addressed.”
In any case, not every baby will be eligible for this law.
Baby Moses’s requirements are as follows:
- In the Lone Star State, you are free to bring your infant to any hospital, fire station, or EMS station that meets the proper criteria.
- You must inform staff at one of these safe havens that you wish to leave your infant there before you hand them over to them.
- To guarantee that your infant gets the treatment they require, a staff member may inquire about your medical history or family history.
