New parents can be under severe emotional or psychological distress. At times this can lead to poor decisions regarding their newborn infant. There have been instances where newborns have been abandoned in unsafe environments which causes injury or death to the child. We want everyone to know that the Campton Hills Police Department is a safe environment where a newborn can be relinquished.
The parent(s) can remain anonymous if they choose and avoid any civil or criminal liability for the act of relinquishing the infant.
