Could we have helped them? I don't think you can catch everything.
I guess I don't see what this has to do with a Safe Haven Law, other than that if this father had had the opportunity to leave his daughters at a hospital when they were newborns, this might not have happened. Also, if this father was such a terrible person, as the anecdote would indicate, why weren't these girls with their mother? Wouldn't that have been a better alternative?

And just to be petty, if they followed him, they weren't infants anymore.
