Idaho Teen Arrested for Leaving Deceased Newborn in Safe Haven Baby Box

An 18-year-old from Twin Falls, Idaho, Angel N. Newberry, has been charged with failing to report a death after leaving a deceased newborn in a Safe Haven Baby Box in Blackfoot. The Safe Haven system allows for the anonymous surrender of unharmed infants, but does not protect those who place deceased infants. Newberry reportedly hid her pregnancy, gave birth at home, and later placed the baby in the box, where it was found dead. She is currently in custody, and further charges may be pending.
