Take the Baby and Run - Report It
If you are a teen and you're afraid or uncertain about reporting this kind of activity, ask a friend or an adult you trust to do it for you. If you are an adult, please report it to the authorities. Illegal activities, no matter how "well-meaning" are illegal for a reason. Legal adoptions help the teen parent(s) with her/their self-respect, physical well-being, and provide access to counseling which will be needed, and will protect a child's right to truth, identity and heritage, whether or not the adoption is open.Clif Brinson, an expert on law enforcement, says:
Local agencies or local State Bureau Investigation offices can assist in these matters and actually can handle them a lot quicker thanCrime Stoppers and others. Anonymity can usually be kept most of the time. Usually with a tip, other evidence can be obtained to keep the informant out of the loop, but not always. Of course if they do it anonymously, then they certainly will not be revealed.
