What is happening in nebraska that is making parents abandon their teenage children?

is there a drug epidemic (parents on drugs)?


are there that many unruly teens there?





would it be the same in other states if there were similar laws?What is happening in nebraska that is making parents abandon their teenage children?
Yes, there are rousty kids out there and parents that can't cope because the kids are in control. Parents have lost many rights to state's DCYF and are frustrated and feel they don't have children but instead have public school inoculated tyrants and no recourses..


The Nebraska legislature is voting on a revised law, which will keep the maximum age to 3 months drop off. In the mean time, I suspect a crowd is making a bee-line to Nebraska to beat out this new expected new ruling.What is happening in nebraska that is making parents abandon their teenage children?
Nebraska's child abandonment law, aimed at encouraging people to abandon their newborns in hospitals instead of garbage cans or dumpsters, has no specific age limitation, which oversight, lawmakers are meeting to correct. Apparently, in a rush to dump their children before it becomes illegal, numerous parents have unloaded unwanted children before the change can go through.


Appalling, isn't it? Of course, they don't all get dumped so gently. My sister took in two brothers, friends of her son, whose parents sent them off to school one day and left before they returned home. To an empty house and refrigerator. Charming, how some people are, isn't it?


Almost all other states have such a law, but they wrote theirs with age limitations, which Nebraska evidently did not think about while voting in the original legislation. Oops!
It's not just parents in Nebraska, they are bringing them from other states.





In one case, a widowed father with five children, laid off a year ago, unable to get help from welfare because he's the wrong gender, dropped his kids off because he simply could not take care of them.





In another case, a mother with an 18-year-old girl with severe neurological problems from a head trauma, drops her off because she can no longer get help for the girl since she turned 18.





Do these sound like people with poor parenting habits?


What is their other options when our government turns their back on them?


Instead, should they consider murder suicide to resolve their problems?






It is part of the ';safe Heaven'; law. Every state has this law that allows people to abandon newborns at the hospital and not being charged but in nebraska the law is currently written that people can do it up to the age of 18 (but changing this week).





If you look at the cases over half of them are people from other states dropping their children off. It speaks volumes to the problems in our country and that people can not get help when they need it.
The safe haven law was written with a good intent, but badly done.





The odd thing is that they have shown something very disturbing- there are a lot of people who feel they need help, and cannot get it for their older kids.





Many of these parents have tried to get help, and found barriers- lack of money in the program, programs already full, programs no one seems to know about, programs that cannot help for whatever reason- even though every state thinks they have everything covered.






This is pretty sick and disturbing but unfortunately there are just some people in this world that should not be parents. I could never imagine leaving my child anywhere. How can a parent spend years raising their child just to throw it out like an old couch. Ugh some people need to be byotch slapped.
The are doing that because Nebraska passed a law that does not limit the age that you can drop a child off at a ';safe'; place and not get punished for it.





I would say yes, it would probably happen if other states had the same law.
