Nebraska Safe haven law??WTF are people thinking!

[Himark]

So since are all knowing law makers let out the law that allows children to be dropped off at hospitals without any consequences or penalty from the law people are traveling in from all over to dump there kids.
The law is meant for infants under a week old but they didnt write the language of the law as such. So just this weekend a gal drops off a 12 year old boy with his suitcase and just says "she did it out of love" Heck the paper says the kid was beggin her not to leave him.

WHAT THE FUUG IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? How can you drop off your own son/daughter like that?

It just sickins me to see that happening in my mind...

Yeah its pretty sad, if you look into this law this is the third time I've read about teenage children being dropped off. Makes me sick to my stomach.

Simple.
Parents get punished if they punish their kids.
A lot of kids are totally out of control and the parents have had it.
They can't spank em, they get arrested for child abuse.
They can't send them to bed without desert, they get charged with neglect.

Parents with problem childeren can be financial ruined by their childeren. So, dump the kid on the government and let THEM take care of em.
Haven't you heard?
It takes a village.

We are seeing the first stages of the end result of government intruding into families homes and telling them how to live.

I agree Ollie, government has stepped to far into the family. Yes there are instances where parents need to be restrained by government but for the most part parents know the limits and just need the ability to do what they feel is right. I know for certain I woulda driven my parents over the edge if it hadn't been for that belt!!!

So any child, or children for that matter, can be dropped off no questions asked? Sounds like Nebraska screwed up by not putting an age limit on this. Hopefully this will keep new borns and small children from being dumped in the dumpster but it also give parents an easy out.

Discipline is a bad word these days!

Here is an example of what I am talking about.

Friend and his wife come over to play cards one night. We used to do that every saturday night for about a year or so. We would usually stay up and play cards till 1am or so.

Well this one night he doesn't feel good so his wife and him left around 9.
Imagine his surprise when he is stopped at a red light and see's his other car go thru the green light with his 13 year old kid behind the wheel.

He races home and parks out front. The kid parks the car behind the house in the alley and heads around the garage. Imagine the kids surprise at seeing his dad coming at him.
Dad grabs the kid and right then and there pulls the kids pants down and starts to give him a whoopin.

The kids screaming bloody murder. Dad stops, lets the kid up. The kid promply smacks dad in the face with a closed fist. So dad does what anyone who gets hit would do. He knocked the kid out. One punch, out like a light.

Well, dad feels bad and picks the unconcious kid up and takes him inside. Mom is NOT happy. Wakes the kid up. The kid promply jumps to his feet and smacks mom in the mouth. Dad knocks the kid out again.

Kids wakes up in bed. Calls 911.
Cops come over. Kid tells his story, dad tells his. The cops put dad in cuffs and takes him away for the night. The next day, mom goes down and bails dad out of jail.
Social services is waiting at the house to take both the 16 year old (who can't stand the younger brother) and the kid away because mom and dad are bad parents.

So dad, goes down stairs with the SS lady right behind him threatening him with arrest again. Dad throws a bunch of the kids clothes in a suit case, throws the case at the SS worker and tells her to take the kid, his stuff and her azz and get out.

The older brother refuses to leave.
Now, dad has a child abuse conviction on his record and they were inspected every other week for 2 years after that.

That's why my girlfriend and I want a Husky and a German Shepard!!!

I'm glad my dad was such a hard azz to me growing up. I learned values, respect and I learned what it was like to pay the consequences for my actions. My dad would have taught me a lesson, no doubt, but I think the big difference is he would have tried to restrain himself until we were inside. If not my mom would have reminded him to relax a bit until the door closed. Knocking out a 13 year old kid is a bit over the edge IMO.

Yep...Forgot to put and age limit on it AND prohibit to Nebraska residence only. So now Nebraska is getting it from all around us. STUPID law writers.

So they are going to either have to call a special session at a cost of 80k or wait till January to amend the law. I am sure the flood gates will be open till then.

It is a chitty deal and that is for sure. I know alot of other stories similar to this one. And you know where these kids are getting this???

From there gawdddd daammmmm liberal teachers at school!

My 8 year old already told me " you cant spank me because my teacher said i can call the police" this is the same school where a teacher also told him when he was 7 that he should not use his finger as a fake gun at recess and put him in a time out. Quoted to tell him "guns are bad"

 

[coyoteman]

I still remember the day i was acting up as a child, mom drags me out of church and procedes to give me a spanking out on the sidewalk. a lady came over and procedes to give my mom the riot act about it. her son is now dead, over drugs. i thank my parents for all the punishment i got when i needed it, and there were times i needed it. i will raise my children in the same manner, regardless of what anyone says.

Weeks after this law went into effect, didn't a family drop off like 5 or 6 kids saying they could no longer care for them? Just doesn't seem right. Hopefully the kids will go on to be better people than their parents are or ever will be.

 

[Blu Du]

yes a dad drop off 5 or 6 children. the mother died and he couldn't handle it. we have it in mn. i don't know how a person could abandon a newbon in the garbage
