Nebraska Safe Haven Law Changed
The Nebraska Safe Haven Law has changed. The Safe haven Law now has been amended so that the loophole involving teenagers has closed. This means that you can only abandon children who are thirty days old and younger. This action needed to be taken because parents were abandoning their teens which is not what the law was intended to allow. I never could understand why parents would wait until their children were teenagers to decide that they no longer wanted to be their parents.I mean it is such a sad issue for these children to face. The law was intended to protect babies from being abandoned in dumpsters and other places. Many people have abandoned babies in places and the babies have died due to exposure or starvation so it was important for Nebraska to give people a better option to ensure that babies are safe and healthy. The Safe Haven Law is a good law. What do you think about this issue?
