The Safe Haven Baby Box organization is celebrating saving a baby who was safely dropped off last week at a fire station in Kentucky.
With the rescue of this baby, the U.S.-based pro-life organization counts a total of 50 newborns saved since the first safe haven box was installed in 2015. This is the first time that this particular box, which was just installed on April 4, has been used.
The Kentucky Safe Infants Act allows parents to drop off newborns under 30 days old at a police station, fire station, hospital, or place of worship that has a baby box without fear of being criminally prosecuted.
The device resembles a safe that, once closed, cannot be opened from the outside, but only from the inside wall of the building and by medical personnel. The box is monitored 24 hours a day and has temperature control and an alarm.
