Knoxville's Safe Haven Baby Box receives first surrendered child.
A baby was surrendered for the first time in a Safe Haven Baby Box in Knoxville, Tennessee, since its installation earlier this year. The boxes aim to allow parents a safe way to abandon a child legally. The child found inside is in good health and is in the hospital awaiting a forever home. Tennessee has only one safe haven baby box in Knoxville, but more than one thousand safe haven facilities exist across Tennessee.
