Kentucky sees first infant anonymously surrendered at "baby box"

A healthy baby is the first infant to be anonymously dropped off at one of Kentucky's "baby box" safe surrender locations.

Safe Haven Baby Boxes founder and CEO Monica Kelsey said at a news conference Friday that the child was dropped off within the last seven days at a Bowling Green Fire Department location. She declined to be more specific to protect the anonymity of the surrender. According to Kelsy, the fire department staff was able to tend to the child in less than 90 seconds.

The baby is the 24th in the country to be surrendered at one of more than 130 baby boxes and drawers the organization has established across nine states.
