In 2009, the Pima County Attorney's Office, Casa de los Niños
 and the Dean of Students Office came together to create an
 awareness campaign on the University of Arizona's campus.  The
 campaign's purpose is to provide information concerning the Tucson
 Safe Baby Program, a program that allows the anonymous transfer of
 a newborn baby at any local hospital, clinic or fire department station. 

 The program allows for the anonymous transfer of a newborn as long as the baby:

• Is physically handed to a professional on duty at one of the locations listed above
• Is brought in within 72 hours of birth
• Shows no signs of intentional injury

There will be no prosecution for abandonment if these conditions are met.

The program's message is:

Don't Panic, there is an option.  You are not alone!
