Parents Abandon Kids With 'Safe Haven' Loophole
I really just don't understand why people and parents think the way that they do and are actually willing to do this.

At first when I saw the title of this article I thought it was going to be parents giving up there children because they can not make ends meet with lossing jobs, etc...but when I saw it was parents handing over their "Problem Child(ren)" I was shocked! I do not know if the blame should fall on the parents or the government. Because if parents did not have to work all the time and could be home more to spend quality time with their kids maybe many of them would not turn so bad. I am very mixed and upset by this article being a mother of two.
This is so sad for the children and the parents involved. I can't imagine feeling as if you have no other option but to abandon your child; frightening.
I watched the accompanying piece they showed on 20/20 last night to the article. Not only Nebraska parents are using this law but they also have had kids from as far as Indiana and Georgia dropped off at hospitals within the states. The one 11 year old in the article who is bipolar would repeatedly curse his mom out and answer her with F you every morning. They also showed some of the homemade weapons he made that made the kid in the Problem Child movies look like an angel.
This makes me sick. The only good part is the kids might find a home with people that love them instead of their sumbag parents. I think that when parents that do this should be fixed when they drop off their kids because they dont deserve to have kids ever.
I understand this part: The Safe Haven law was originally intended to give newborn parents an alternative when they couldn't care for their infants. But it will be very sad to abandon the child.
I can not believe that law like this exists. Parents should try to find another ways to help their children instead of abandon them. More over, the kids were not born "bad"; their behaviour is a direct result of the parents' mistakes.
I heard yesterday on the radio that the law has now been appealed and only applies to newborns 30 days old and younger. A few hours before the appeal went into effect, a mom drove all the way from California to drop off her kid at a hospital within state lines!
This really is a sad situation. Kids do not ask to be born into this world , or to parents who might not be stable, but yet they feel the reprecussions (sp?) Whether you are a single parent or a two parent household, parenting is the hardest job in the world. If you are a teen, or a rape victim and don't have the proper guidance, then yes I would agree with the safe haven law. The fact that these parents just want to "get rid" of their problem children does not sit well with me. Why doesn't the state take a look at the parents and penalize them to some extent? Whether your child has a missing leg, missing eye, downs syndrome, etc. It is your child that you brought into the world! Explore every possible avenue to get assistance for them and yourself if necessary - but NEVER give up! Children are a gift from god.
I think that this is a terrible law. You should never abandoned your child and that means even if he/she has a problem. You must deal with it. Their should be many ways to deal with your child's problem.
