Lebanon police and fire crews responded shortly after the alarm was received and the infant was taken immediately by fire officials to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, police said in a news release.
Messages left with Lebanon police were not immediately returned and attempts to reach Warren County Children Services have not been successful.
Under Ohio law, a parent may voluntarily deliver their child who is not older than 30 days, with no intent to return for the child, in various ways, according to police.
They include a peace officer, a hospital employee or an emergency medical service worker by calling 9-1-1 and staying with the child until those officials arrive, police said.
Another option is a newborn safety incubator provided by specified authorities, according to police.
