HRS §587D-2
Leaving a newborn safely at a hospital, fire station, or police station
A parent or other person can leave a newborn baby with staff at a hospital, fire station, police station, or with emergency workers and not be charged with child abandonment, as long as the baby is under 72 hours old and is not hurt. This only applies to the crime of abandonment under section 709-902.
