In a shocking incident, two fetuses were discovered on a Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) bus in East Baltimore on Saturday afternoon. Initially, only one fetus was reported, but further investigation confirmed the presence of a second fetus. The Baltimore Police, along with the MTA, responded to the scene on Kirk Avenue after a driver made the distressing discovery at around 12:39 p.m.

The circumstances surrounding how the fetuses came to be found on a public bus remain unclear, prompting homicide detectives to launch an active and ongoing investigation. The Baltimore police have refrained from sharing further details at this time.

The Medical Examiner's Office has taken possession of both fetuses for further examination and analysis. The discovery has left the community stunned and authorities determined to uncover the truth behind this distressing incident.

Maryland has enacted safe haven laws in an effort to prevent infant abandonment. These laws enable distressed parents who are unable or unwilling to care for their newborn to anonymously and safely relinquish custody at designated locations, such as hospitals or law enforcement stations. Maryland law allows a parent or another adult, with the mother's approval, to invoke Safe Haven within 10 days of the birth, ensuring the wellbeing of the child.

To support the implementation of Safe Haven laws, the Maryland Department of Human Services provides a list of designated "safe havens" in each jurisdiction. Anyone seeking more information about Maryland's Safe Haven laws can contact the department or call the helpline at 800-332-6347.

As the investigation into the presence of the two fetuses on the Baltimore bus continues, authorities are urging the public to come forward with any relevant information. The shocking discovery serves as a reminder of the importance of safe haven laws and the need to ensure the well-being of newborns.

The Baltimore Police and the MTA are committed to working diligently to bring clarity and justice to this distressing situation.
