MEHLVILLE, Mo. – Remember the story from last month about a newborn baby being dropped off in a ‘Safe Haven Baby Box’ at the Mehlville fire station?
It was the first use in Missouri of those boxes, which offer a safe and legal alternative for at-risk mothers facing difficult decisions. A new bill introduced Friday would add St. Louis City’s Engine House 17 to the Safe Haven Program.
The fire department, police department, and health department could add other locations as well.
