Marcos Icahuate
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – A program to help surrendered babies will be implemented in Yuma.
Baby boxes will be installed in two different locations for parents to safely surrender their infant.
The program began after Baby Sonny was found abandoned in a trash can near a Yuma hotel on May 1, 2025.
The boxes are climate controlled and automatically notifies 911 when an infant is placed. Each location will be staffed 24/7.
The baby boxes will go live June 30.
