"...staffers soon realized that the newborn had been dead long before being left. "

I thought leaving a baby in the box was supposed to be anonymous.

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.

“Since being launched in 2016, Safe Haven Baby Boxes have provided parents a discreet and secure option to surrender their newborns.”

Or so they thought until now. Those kids usually aren’t the brightest bulbs and don’t know all of the Terms and Conditions of those boxes. Will the boxes get any more use after the news gets out about Angel Newberry? How many other babies may die because of the fear that a depositor isn’t as anonymous as promised? Not a good situation but someone should be considering the consequences of arresting the girl and then publicizing it.

The non profit's policy states that any parent can leave a baby under 30 days old without legal consequences.

I assume "any parent" means the mother.

If the father deposits the baby without the mother's knowledge, that would be illegal.

If the mother deposits the baby without the father's knowledge, that's okay.

If she went to Planned Parenthood they would have given her cash.
