The first Safe Haven Baby Box in Kansas has been installed at Fire Station 1 in Hutchinson, providing at-risk parents with another option for safely surrendering their newborns.

The box, which was unveiled on Thursday, is located at 2222 N. Main Street and was installed following a change to the state’s Safe Haven law in 2023 allowing baby boxes at fire and police stations, local news station KAKE reported.

“Being on the cutting edge is about meeting the needs of our community,” Hutchinson fire chief Steven Beer said. “This is going to be another great thing for the city of Hutchinson.”

In IL you can drop the baby off at a hospital, police station, or fire dept with in a certain amount of days no questions asked.

The “Safe Haven Baby Box” seems to be a national solution that never quite gets implemented, except locally. Then everyone learns once again why mothers wanting privacy choose dumpsters.
