[It sounds like even if the baby had been alive when it was placed in the box, it still would have died because they didn’t check the box for more than a month. Great “safe haven” program they’ve got going on there.]
I would think there’d be an alarm at the nurse station if the outside door is opened. A newborn infant, perhaps not in the best condition, needs to be retrieved quickly.
I always figured leaving a baby at a big city church was the way to go. But, perhaps, I’m thinking of the old movie churches...they may not be open all the time now.
The boxes apparently have alarms that alert the medical staff.
