Knoxville's Safe Haven Baby Box sees first successful surrender.

TL;DR Summary
Knoxville's 'Baby Box' was used for the first time to surrender a healthy baby boy, making it the first time it was used since it was installed. The device is an extension of Tennessee's Safe Haven law, which allows parents of newborns to surrender unharmed babies to designated places within two weeks of their birth without fear of being prosecuted. The 'Baby Box' at Station 17 is entirely anonymous and is available for any parent who needs a place to turn in a time of crisis, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
