Illinois has a Safe Haven law — but staff didn't know the baby was outside (via toofab)
According to her organization, since the safe haven law passed in the state in 2001, 144 infants have been safely handed over; another further 89 were illegally abandoned, and of those, half did not survive.
Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner's office are now investigating the little boy's death. Just hours after finding him, Chicago Fire tweeted a reminder of the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act: Illinois' Safe Haven law is a safe way for parents who make the difficult choice to give up a newborn for adoption. Handing over a newborn to a Firefighter or Paramedic directly at a firehouse can help facilitate the safest outcome. No questions asked and no judgment given."Illinois' Safe Haven law is a safe way for parents who make the difficult choice to give up a newborn for adoption," it said.
