CARMEL — Two newborns are safe after they were surrendered at two different Safe Haven Baby Boxes within a week in Indiana.
Officials said a baby boy was placed in a box at Carmel Fire Station 45 on Tuesday and the box worked as promised.
The alarm sounded and alerted firefighters in less than a minute that the infant baby was in the box.
Less than a week before, a baby was surrendered in the baby box at Franciscan Health in Hammond in the middle of the night.
