I see this is a feel good story. Safe haven laws save lives of both mother and child. The baby wasn't breathing well and got help.

A 14-year-old girl who had just given birth walked into a New Jersey restaurant and gave her newborn baby to a customer before leaving.

Restaurant owner Frankie Aguilar told Penn Live that the teenager walked into El Patron looking "a little bit desperate," while holding a newborn baby in her arms.



Aguilar said that the 14-year-old then started asking customers and staff for help, prompting employees to call the local police department who they thought could assist the girl.



Before police arrived at the restaurant the teenager handed the baby, which still had its umbilical cord attached, to customer Alease Scott and quickly left El Patron.

We have similar laws  in AZ.  I hope this young lady has/finds a support group and gets a lot of hugs.  She has strength beyond measure.

I had tears in my eyes reading this story. I can’t imagine the strength it took for this young girl to bring a life into this world, all alone. She took care to make sure she got the baby to people that could help him/her. I pray she gets the help and support that she needs and that the baby finds a loving home.
