Under New Hampshire's safe haven law, the hospital or other entity caring for the child must notify law enforcement and Department of Health and Human Services officials of the situation within 24 hours.
PORTSMOUTH — A newborn baby boy who was left at Portsmouth Regional Hospital over the weekend remained there Tuesday, hospital spokeswoman Nancy Notis said.

Note:The Safe Haven Law is a good thing, but when DCYF get's involved, that's a whole different story.
Maggie Bishop, director of the state Division for Children, Youth & Families, said she could not comment on the specifics of the local case.
"Our role is to provide for the safety of a child in question," she said.
When the baby is released from the hospital, Bishop said, he will most likely be released to the state. Bishop said the state's job in the process is to provide for the baby, while at the same time try to locate his birth parents to help establish future legal guardianship.
"If we were able to find a parent, we would try to work with them to make a long-term legal situation (regarding guardianship)," Bishop said. "If we can't find them, then the baby would go into foster care."
These are the word's of a woman who can NOT be trusted.

Bishop said DCYF will look for the baby's parents for six months before the baby is made available for adoption.
Yes indeed, DCYF will look for the parent's to bring charges against them, making sure any children they have in the future are removed. Guardianship is a crock of bull. NH DCYF very seldom, if ever allows Guardianship. Every child they take into their possession, is placed in foster care and then adopted. That's how they make their money. Guardianship in NH? What's that? There's no money to be made in Guardianship.
