Ocala to install Florida’s first Safe Haven Baby Box

OCALA, Fla. – Ocala’s Fire Rescue Headquarters will soon house Florida’s first Safe Haven Baby Box. Kelsey is the Founder and CEO of Safe Haven Baby Boxes. “These firefighters will know there’s a baby in that box 60 seconds after that child is placed in the box. Kelsey said the Safe Haven Baby Box will give mothers full anonymity and hopefully reduce the number of abandoned babies. The Safe Haven Baby Box costs $10,000 and is leased for $200 a month.
