Boarder Babies, Abandoned Infants, and Discarded Infants
December 2005
Often no distinction is made between the terms
“boarder babies,” “abandoned infants,” and
“discarded infants.” In the interest of clarity and
consistency, this fact sheet will use the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS,
2001) definitions:
? Boarder babies are infants under the age of 12
months who remain in the hospital past the date
of medical discharge. Boarder babies may
eventually be claimed by their parents and/or be
placed in alternative care.
? Abandoned infants are newborn children who
are not medically cleared for hospital discharge,
but who are unlikely to leave the hospital in the
custody of their biological parents.
? Discarded infants are newborns who have been
abandoned in public places, other than hospitals,
without care or supervision.

We need as many people as possible to sign the petition asking OBOS to include informaiton about Safe Haven and any other information such as rape, incest, counseling, etc.
Our Bodies, Ourselves (OBOS), also known as the Boston Women's Health Book Collective, is best known for the publications Our Bodies, Ourselves and Nuestros Cuerpos, Nuestras Vidas. Our mission is to empower women with information about health, sexuality and reproduction. We work in and for the public interest, promote equality between women and men, and build bridges among social justice movements." http://www.myspace.com/obos.. There are many ways to help get the word out, being a MySpace friend is a great start. Having the PAN Project periodically placed in your "top friends" would be fantastic!!! Especially around a month or week involving newborns... SFSU is a very progressive school, students are involved at many levels of community service and up on the latest social & political issues.
It made sense to use the campus as a petrie dish. What works on campus could work off campus. There are many things that can be done that will spill out into the community, for instance the library display below.
If you or your organization has developed a guerilla method of marketing let us know and we will share the information with others who are interested in doing something to help.
San Francisco State Library
This was displayed at the entrance of the SFSU library from May 7th to the 18th, 2007. If you are interested in a low cost way to get the word out, consider your local lilbrary.
Here is our first effort at tabling, as you can see we offered Easter Eggs to paint. This fair was a week before Spring Break. Thought it was a good idea, till we got there and found out they were serving food and not what was initially advertised. So if you do tabling at a student fair, find out what theme they are doing, if they have a theme.

This is a slideshow of the common area of the Caesar Chavez Student Center. The above mentioned club offered free t-shirts & paints to those students who wanted to write something about domestic violence. SAFE placed the t-shirts on a clothes line and showed off the t-shirts. I made 2 and they are in the slideshow.
