In this week's episode, Editor Gary Castor chats with Miranda Bakes about bringing Safe Haven Baby Boxes to mid-Missouri.
Bakes, who is part of a task force working to implement these boxes, explains that they are climate-controlled receptacles installed in designated safe locations like EMS stations, allowing parents in crisis to anonymously and safely surrender newborns up to 45 days old under current Missouri law. She discusses proposed legislation that would extend this period to 90 days and highlights the resources offered by the Safe Haven Baby Box organization to support parents.
