A newborn baby was left at a fire station on Chicago’s Far Northwest side.
The Police department says a young woman dropped off the baby Thursday night at the fire house near Cumberland and Foster Avenues.
She told firefighters that she was by herself when she gave birth to the baby Thursday morning.
She said she cared for it all day before bringing it to the fire station.
Chicago Police are now investigating.
Under the Illinois Safe Haven Law, it’s legal to turn over babies younger than 30 days old to hospitals, police, and fire stations with no questions asked.

She acted in accordance with the law, the child is safe and cared for. Why is this news?

This "Safe Haven Law" is going to fail, if the police need to or DO intervene. Why in Hell do they need to get involved? It is going to make this wonderful program do a complete 180* turn – thereby making women/girls feel afraid to take advantage of it. Babies will go back to being dumped in garbage cans…
