What's this child going to survive to?

I hope that this mother is found and they throw the book at her... She gets no sympathy at all.

According to the laws regarding child abandonment, There will be no legal consequences for making this choice either parent can take the baby to :
Hospital, Doctor's Office , Birthing Clinic, Police Station, Sheriff Office, Fire Department, County Health Department

As long as the baby:
is 30 days old or younger,
is handed to a person at one of the above places,
shows no signs of abuse.

All of those I'm sure exist on Martha's Vineyard.

Did she at least ring the doorbell of the church? It wouldn't seem so. She abandoned this child with no regard to the safely of the child, that's no different than tossing it in a dumpster.
