The reporter of the story said,in effect, the baby had been abandoned
twice in one night & really she was. I'm glad they chose a safe place but,
to leave her alone & laying on a counter, was not the most helpful way to
do things. What if someone else picked up the child and walked out? The
hospital waiting areas can be very hectic at times & it really wasn't the best
move on their part. IMO.

I did find out that this safe haven law has been enacted in 46 states
so far.
