A woman gave birth along a Northeast Side trail and then abandoned her newborn baby, according to San Antonio police.

The City of San Antonio plans to take advantage of a change to state law that will allow parents to surrender their newborn babies in special, alarmed boxes at fire stations and other designated spots.

City leaders are pushing for “baby boxes”. Although similar to the Safe Haven or Baby Moses Law, this proposal would allow parents in crisis to give up their child anonymously.
