Secret Safe Place for Newborns is a program that originated in Mobile, AL, in 1998 in response to concerns raised by reporter Jodi Brooks over a series of child abandonment stories. The program was developed by John Tyson Jr., and allows new mothers to leave their newborns at emergency rooms anonymously without fear of prosecution. This program has since been adopted by over 40 states.
