(Richmond, IN)--There was scanner traffic in Richmond Thursday indicating that an infant had been placed in a baby box at the Richmond fire station at 5 and South A, but that was not actually the case.  It was just part of a simulation that was done with Baby Box officials in Richmond Thursday.  When the baby box was installed and opened in June of last year, Mariah Betz, who is part of that organization, talked about what a baby box does.  "giving mothers another option to safely surrender their babies anonymously and lovingly," Betz said.  An alarm is triggered if the baby box is actually used, and that was part of Thursday’s misconception.  There are now several baby boxes across the Whitewater Valley, including in Connersville and Winchester.
