Refugio seguro para recién nacidos en Arizona

Explicación Simple

Esta ley permite a los padres dejar a sus bebés recién nacidos en lugares seguros, como hospitales o estaciones de bomberos, sin temor a ser juzgados. Los lugares deben tener un aviso para que la gente sepa que pueden dejar a sus bebés allí.
