A dead newborn baby girl was found in a baby drop-off box in Idaho on Oct. 13, police said this week.
Upon removal, they realized the infant had been dead long before being placed in the baby box, according to a news release on Monday from Safe Haven Baby Boxes on Facebook.
Safe Haven Baby Boxes provide a secure and anonymous way for parents to safely surrender their newborns.
But anonymity is only allowed when an infant is surrendered completely unharmed, said Safe Haven Baby Boxes Founder Monica Kelsey.
There is only one Safe Haven Baby Box in Idaho.
