OMAHA, Neb. ââ¬â A 5-year-old boy has been dropped off at an Omaha, Neb., hospital only a day before the state Legislature begins a meeting to change the state's safe-haven law.
Nebraska's safe-haven law was intended to protect unwanted newborns from being abandoned, but unlike similar laws in other states, Nebraska's doesn't include an age limit.
The Legislature opens a rare special session Friday afternoon to change the law and add an age limit.
As of Friday, [SIZE="4"]34[/SIZE] children have been abandoned under the law. Five have been from out of state.
Yeah, we tried this too but the darn kids followed the trail of breadcrumbs back through the forest.
Ooops, I crapped my pants
