Mother makes use of Nebraska safe-haven law
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LINCOLN, Neb. — A woman drove her troubled 12-year-old son from Georgia to Nebraska and abandoned him under the state's unique safe-haven law, which parents have used to leave 20 children at hospitals since the law took effect in July.
The boy, from the Atlanta suburb of Smyrna, was dropped off at BryanLGH Medical Center East
The woman said she had tried but failed to get her son admitted to Boys Town in Nebraska.
He is the third child from out of state brought to Nebraska to be abandoned under the law; abandoned children from Iowa and Michigan have been returned to their home states.
in Lincoln on Saturday night, said Todd Landry of the Department of Health and Human Services.
The Georgia boy's mother, who has not been identified, told the Lincoln Journal Star in a story published Monday that she regretted her actions but thought the safe-haven law was her last chance at saving her troubled son.
Nebraska and Georgia officials are working together to decide what to do with the boy, who was placed in residential shelter care, Landry said.
Most states let parents and guardians drop off children up to
a month old at hospitals or other safe institutions, but Nebraska's law is the only one in the country that allows caregivers to abandon children as old as 18 without fear of prosecution.
The law, intended to protect newborns, includes the word "child," which some have interpreted to mean teenagers. Most of the Nebraska Legislature's 49 senators have agreed to amend the law.
