TIL You can leagally drop your baby off at the fire station in all 50 states - Lemmy.zip

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.

I feel like this woold lead to confusion amongst firemen. Like they go to pull out of the firehouse to respond to a fire, but they have to stop before they start because a random baby is just there for no reason.

I could be wrong, but I doubt most firefighters even know the proceedure for “Baby randomly dropped off without a name”.

My first instinct would be to call child services. Like what else would you do?

I feel like if we know about this, they would too. Or at least a supervisor.
