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

If the Baby is ALIVE then it is. If the Baby is dead then they probably have a camera that can be used to IDENTIFY the person placing the Baby in the box.

It is, with a few caveats.

The child must be alive. The child must be yours.

Because people are weird and will stuff anything in a box a camera is always watching.

If the baby is alive and unharmed YES it is.

That also means the baby must not have drugs in it’s system.

You thought wrong. Read the excerpt!

'The Safe Haven Law in Idaho allows for the surrender of an infant who is unharmed and healthy. Therefore, this was not a legal surrender under state law as it does not meet the criteria for Safe Haven surrender,' a Safe Haven news release reads. Monica Kelsey, the founder of Safe Haven Baby Boxes, said in a social media post at the time: 'We are heartbroken. Anonymity is only allowed when an infant is safely surrendered completely unharmed.'

The perp in this case did NOT leave a baby in the box. The perp left a corpse. You can't expect to leave, e.g., live animals, dead babies, household waste, or anthrax spores in the box and then invoke some "right to anonymity."

FTA——Anonymity is only allowed when an infant is safely surrendered completely unharmed.
