Two more teens dropped off in Nebraska

Yes, two more teens (both aged 16) have been dropped off at hospitals in Nebraska under the safe haven laws mandate. Apparently the girl didn't know she was being dropped off. The family, originally from Nebraska, live in Arizona. Let this be a lesson to all teenagers everywhere; if your parents say 'lets take a road trip to Nebraska', avoid all hospitals for any reasons.

Nebraska Baby Drop Off

Nebraska passed a law that went into effect this past summer that gives parents immunity to child abandonment laws if they drop their child off at a state hospital. The law, I assume, was to slow down an epidemic of dumpster babies. The problem being lawmakers failed to put an age limit on the term 'child' so half of the children dropped off thus far have been teenagers! Most lawmakers have agreed to change the de facto age restriction from 18 years to 3 days old. Imagine staying out past curfew when you were in high school and as punishment your parents could threaten you with abandonment?
