Practice question
An unlicensed private shop receives a forty-day-old infant. The operator says any delivery of any child to any willing adult necessarily satisfies section 13’s safe-haven exemption. Which analysis is correct?
- The exemption has no age or provider limits
- Every shop becomes licensed by receiving a child
- Forty days is legally identical to thirty days
- Any written receipt replaces the statute
- The claimed automatic exemption ignores both the specific infant-age limit and qualified-provider requirements; the child still needs lawful protective care
