印第安纳州第90例弃婴保护箱安置发生在特雷霍特，婴儿已获妥善照料
印第安纳州维哥县特雷霍特市消息，10月26日上午，一名新生儿被安全匿名地放置在特雷霍特市糖溪镇区消防局设置的弃婴保护箱内，这是印第安纳州第90例通过保护箱完成的婴儿安置。急救人员迅速赶到现场照料婴儿，目前婴儿正通过州收养系统走向永久家庭。
弃婴保护箱配有全天候监控与无声报警系统，一旦婴儿被放入，急救人员会立即收到警报并赶到现场。印第安纳州目前共设有152个弃婴保护箱，全美则接近490个。布卢明顿市设有两个保护箱。印第安纳州《安全港法》允许父母在新生儿出生30天内，合法匿名地将婴儿送交指定的安全港地点，包括弃婴保护箱。
主办方在新闻稿中表示，保护箱制度的设立，是为了给处境困难的父母提供一个安全合法的选择，避免婴儿被遗弃在不安全的地方。特雷霍特这起安置是今年以来印第安纳州保护箱系统发挥作用的又一例证，相关机构呼吁公众了解《安全港法》，在必要时使用这一合法渠道。
Indiana's 90th baby-box surrender takes place in Terre Haute; infant receiving care
Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana — On the morning of Oct. 26, a newborn was safely and anonymously placed in a baby box installed at the Sugar Creek Township fire station in Terre Haute, the 90th such placement completed through a baby box in Indiana. First responders quickly arrived to care for the infant, who is now moving through the state adoption system toward a permanent family.
Baby boxes are equipped with round-the-clock monitoring and silent alarms; once an infant is placed inside, first responders are alerted immediately and rush to the scene. Indiana now has 152 baby boxes, and there are close to 490 nationwide. Bloomington has two boxes. Indiana's Safe Haven Law allows parents to legally and anonymously surrender a newborn within 30 days of birth at designated safe-haven locations, including baby boxes.
The sponsoring organization said in a news release that the baby-box system was created to give parents in difficult circumstances a safe, legal option and to prevent infants from being abandoned in unsafe places. The Terre Haute placement is another example this year of Indiana's baby-box system at work, and the organizations called on the public to learn about the Safe Haven Law and use this legal channel when necessary.
