Pretty wild! All states give you at least 30 days to dump your baby, no strings attached. Some states give you 60 days!
I feel like more people should know about this! It seems like a highly under utilized ability.

Nah they’re made aware.
I mean, I guess a state could’ve passed the law, saying “hey, leave newborns at fire stations” and not informed the fire house, but it seems far more likely that they are informed.
But States either have designated boxes, or you hand the child over to them directly. You don’t just leave it in front of the firehouse door.
Yeah, I think my state of NC requires there to be a designated baby receiver on call at all times just in case someone pulls up with one that they need to get rid of.
