safe haven

Following a horrific incident this past winter, in which 22-year-old Hypernkemberly Dorvilier of Burlington County allegedly set her newborn baby on fire and left it in the middle of the road, a New Jersey lawmaker is pushing for expansion of the state's Safe Haven Infant Protection Act.

A shocking tragedy that took place earlier this month in New Jersey has one lawmaker calling on her colleagues to approve a measure that would expand the state's safe haven locations.

New Jersey is spending the next couple of months on raising awareness about a program that's been protecting unwanted infants from abandonment for nearly 14 years.

A New Jersey lawmaker plans to introduce legislation to expand the number of Safe Haven locations.

New Jersey's Safe Haven law would be expanded under proposed legislation being introduced today in Trenton.
