I’m so glad cities have started having these “Safe Havens”. There are many, many, many cases of babies thrown on the side of the road, put in attics or basements, restaurant toilets, or simply put in the garbage. Just look through NAMUS and you will see many abandonded babies who will never have a name.

‘When authorities were notified that a Safe Haven Baby Box in Indiana had been opened last week, they expected someone to be playing a prank and did not believe a newborn baby would be inside.’

’"I can see this sweatshirt and I seen a little bitty arm," Fire Chief Mick Pawlik told local media.

The volunteer fire chief of Coolspring Township said he thought it might have been a doll, but quickly realised it was a newborn.

"I opened it up and that baby just looked me right in the eyes."’

‘An alarm was received by the La Porte County 911 centre just before 10.30pm last Tuesday, and the baby had been in the box for less than five minutes before it was retrieved.’

‘"When this box was installed, we hoped that it would never be used, yet we're thankful that it exists for cases just like the one Tuesday night," said Fire Chief Pawlik.

”We are grateful that the mother had this option and made this choice, and we remain concerned for her health.”’

‘The baby was taken to hospital in Michigan City and is believed to be doing well.’

2nd newborn found in Indiana fire station's baby box: 'I was happy, ecstatic to hear the crying'

For the second time in five months, someone anonymously placed a newborn in the station’s box, one of two in the state. The box, fire officials said, worked as it was supposed to, setting off a medical alarm on firefighters’ pagers when it was opened and keeping the baby warm and secure for the brief period of time until someone arrived at the station and, more importantly, protecting the identity of the person who dropped off the child.
