Nebraska's awful child-abandonment law is FINALLY being reviewed, as kids from other states continue to be dropped off by their idiot and incompetent parents.
The total number of kids abandoned so far is 34. On Thursday, a 17 year-old girl was dropped off at an Omaha hospital with her 14 year-old brother, and promptly ran away, leaving her brother behind.
This law has been a FARCE from day one and should never have been adopted by the legislature of Nebraska.
And the emotional damage being done to these children by their parents is immeasurable.
They say the way to hell is paved with good intentions. And this law was originally designed to help infants, but with the lack of an age limit in the law, parents began dropping their teenagers off. Of the 34 kids dropped off so far, not a SINGLE one has been an infant. Six of the children were under age 10, and the rest were teenagers.
All of these teens need to be returned to their relatives, and the ex-parents PROSECUTED! And in particular, those parents who crossed state lines to get rid of their kids need to be in federal court for what they have done.
I'm not interested in hearing why they've done what they've done. They had the means to travel to Nebraska from other states to drop their kids off; why couldn't they have contacted social services in their OWN states? EVERY state in this country has some kind of system to help parents in need, and family courts to order the kids into state custody to get the help that they need.
Nebraska needs to GET IT IN GEAR and FIX this terrible law!
