Newborn surrendered to Safe Haven

A newborn baby was safely surrendered at a Safe Haven Baby Box at Fishers Fire Department's Station 397 in Indiana, where firefighters promptly provided medical care. The incident highlights the effectiveness of Indiana's Safe Haven Law, which allows for the anonymous surrender of infants 30 days old or younger without fear of prosecution. The Fishers Fire Department expressed gratitude to the parents, emphasizing the importance of community resources in protecting vulnerable children. The baby is now under the care of Indiana Children and Family Services, which ensures the child's health and safety. Baby boxes, equipped with temperature controls and alarm systems, provide a secure option for mothers in crisis. This initiative has supported numerous mothers since its inception, reinforcing the significance of safe surrender programs.
