McLEAN CO., Ky. (WFIE) - A Safe Haven Baby Box is now in the works for McClean County.
This news comes from the Judge Executive’s Office.
The boxes legally allow a mother in crisis to safely and anonymously surrender a newborn.
McLean County leaders are partnering with Pathway of Hope Pregnancy Resource Center out of Muhlenberg County.
This would mark the seventh baby box in the Tri-State.
These boxes are temperature-controlled and a silent alarm is activated when a child is placed inside.
