Protecting Anonymity/Obtaining Medical Information:
Confidentiality is vital to the continued success of the “Safe Haven” program.
It is the single most important factor in saving
the lives of newborns in Florida.
The parent(s) have the absolute right to remain anonymous in accordance with the “Safe Haven”
law even if information is known regarding the mother, i.e. the baby is born at the hospital or any other means that would identify
the parent(s).
Do not attempt to pressure, retain, or apprehend the parent(s):
They can leave at any time and may not be pursued
or followed unless the parent(s) seek to reclaim the newborn infant or there are signs of abuse or neglect.
Do not attempt
to gain name, address, phone number, license tag, description of vehicle, etc..
Written reports should only include patient (infant)
medical assessment and care provided information.
