Knoxville, TN, October 22, 2026 —

A newborn was safely surrendered to a Safe Haven Baby Box in Knoxville, marking the third time the box has been used since it was installed.

The available information did not include the date of the surrender or the location of the box beyond identifying Knoxville. It also did not provide details about the newborn, the circumstances of the surrender, or what happened after the baby was placed in the box.

The installation date was not provided, so the period covered by the three uses is unknown. No information was given about the two earlier uses, including when they occurred or whether they involved similar circumstances. The identity of the person who surrendered the newborn was not provided.

The information describes the surrender as safe but does not include further details about the response or any assessments. It does not identify an agency, official or organization that confirmed the event, and no statements or quotes were included.

The reported third use establishes that the Knoxville box has been used three times since installation. The available details do not indicate whether the number of uses reflects a broader trend, nor do they provide information about other Safe Haven Baby Boxes. Further particulars about the incident and the newborn’s status were not provided.
