Families in crisis could soon have a new option when it comes to surrendering a newborn baby.
“So these boxes are not in place yet in the state of Alabama, this legislation would allow us to then purchase the boxes and have those installed,” said Lee Marshall, Kids to Love Founder. “We’ve asked that those be put in fire stations that are manned 24 hours a day across the state.”
“It’s also hardwired to 911,” Marshall said. “The average time that a baby spends in this box is a minute and 40 seconds.” Advocates say these boxes keep babies out of ditches, and dumpsters. Also, with Roe v. Wade overturned, it gives moms another safe alternative.
