I assume "any parent" means the mother.
If the father deposits the baby without the mother's knowledge, that would be illegal.
If the mother deposits the baby without the father's knowledge, that's okay.

Why would you assume that?! The law could have simply stated "the mother can leave..." and thus removed all doubt. What in the wording here led you to infer that "fathers" were excluded? Where is there any mention of the parent's sex?
