When an infant is born and abandoned at birth while remaining at the same hospital, the infant will be considered an abandoned infant under this chapter when the parent of a child in that parent's custody fails to arrange for the child's discharge within ten days after the child no longer requires hospital care without regard to a parent's or agent's verbal statement of intention to abandon the infant.
