Box for struggling parents to drop off babies installed in Darke Co.

GREENVILLE TOWNSHIP — A township in Darke County has installed a Safe Haven Baby Box.

The box can be found at the Greenville Township Emergency Services building on Sater Street on the left side of the front entrance door, according to a social media post.

The box is climate-controlled, allowing parents to safely surrender their newborns without being seen.
