This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Laws that allow a person to anonymously leave a newborn at a hospital, police station, or other designated place without fear of prosecution are called __________ laws. Group of answer choices

a. safe-haven laws

b. neonatal laws

c. nenaticide laws

d. all of the above

Answer:

Laws that allow a person to anonymously leave a newborn at a hospital, police station, or other designated place without fear of prosecution are called a. safe-haven laws.

Step-by-step explanation:

Safe-haven laws are also known as "Baby Moses laws" as a reference to Moses' mother leaving him when he was just a baby. These laws allow the parent or an agent of the parent to leave unharmed infants with statutorily designated private persons (in a hospital, a police station, or other designated place). In other words, leaving the child in those designated places is not a crime. The parent can remain anonymous and protected from criminal liability.
