## Resource

A newborn was found abandoned near Lace Bark Lane in Indianapolis, thankfully in stable condition—but the chilling discovery raises urgent questions about parental desperation and access to safe surrender options. Indiana’s Safe Haven Law offers a lifeline, allowing parents to anonymously place infants up to 60 days old in police stations, hospitals, or specially designed baby boxes that alert responders instantly. Since 2018, 33 babies have been safely surrendered this way. Advocates like Monica Kelsey stress the importance of privacy and protection for vulnerable parents. This case follows the tragic death of a baby found in Brookside Park less than a year ago—a sobering reminder that even with existing resources, more awareness and accessibility are needed to prevent future heartbreaks.
