Two Babies Safely Surrendered in South Carolina Under Daniel's Law

A newborn baby was safely surrendered at Summerville Medical Center in Dorchester County, South Carolina, under Daniel's Law, which allows parents to surrender infants up to 60 days old at designated safe locations. The baby, a male weighing 8 pounds and measuring 19.2 inches, was taken into custody by Dorchester County Department of Social Services and will be placed in a licensed foster home after discharge from the hospital. A Permanency Planning Hearing is scheduled for November 2 for anyone wishing to assert parental rights.
