Baby Savers SA, a national coalition of organisations that operates throughout SA, presented a proposal to parliament about introducing the option of safe relinquishment. In October the organisation was awaiting feedback from parliament on its proposal for a safe alternative to babies being dumped in fields, bins and other life-threatening places.
Baby Savers SA co-founder and director of Door of Hope Nadene Grabham said safe relinquishment needed to be legalised. “It is important for women to recognise that legal advice has been sought on the plight of abandoned infants and the ‘criminalisation’ of their mothers abandoning them. If there is a legal remedy we are doing what we can to address it. We are seeking advice and legal redress,” said Grabham.
