What legal situation does the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act address?

Safe surrender of an infant
Parenting rights
Child custody battles
Neglect and endangerment

The correct answer is: Safe surrender of an infant

The Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act specifically addresses the legal framework that allows for the safe surrender of an infant, typically within a certain period after birth. This law is designed to protect newborns who might otherwise be abandoned in unsafe conditions by providing a legal mechanism through which parents can relinquish their child without fear of prosecution, as long as the surrender is made at designated locations, such as hospitals or fire stations. This act ensures that infants are placed in a safe environment and are provided with care and protection while also allowing parents to avoid the legal consequences that might arise from abandoning a child in unsafe circumstances. The focus is primarily on the well-being of the infant and providing alternatives for parents who may feel unable to care for their newborn.
