'You know this parent has been thinking about this for a very long time and made the tough decision to surrender her child. We're just thankful for her for placing this child in a safety device.'
Monica Kelsey, the founder of Safe Haven Baby Boxes, told TODAY.com on Feb. 10 that the newborn was left inside the temperature-controlled baby box at the Bowling Green Fire Department Station #7 on Lover's Lane some time during the last week.
"This box has been active for less than 60 days. We actually just blessed this box in December," said Kelsey, noting that it"warms her heart" to see the organization's boxes working so effectively. The newborn was inside the baby box for “less than a minute” before a silent alarm notified 911, said Kelsey.
