OMAHA, Nebraska (CNN) — Nebraska officials said they’re concerned about an apparent rush by parents to drop their teenage children off at hospitals before lawmakers change the state’s troubled “safe haven” law.
Four children have been dropped off at Nebraska hospitals in the last two days.

The latest cases came on the eve of a special session of the Legislature on Friday to add an age limit to the law. On Thursday, a boy, 14, and his 17-year-old sister were dropped off at an Omaha hospital; the girl ran away from the hospital, officials said. A 5-year-old boy was left by his mother at a different hospital, officials said.
The day before, a father flew in from Miami, Florida, to leave his teenage son at a hospital, officials said.
“Please don’t bring your teenager to Nebraska,” Gov. Dave Heineman told CNN. “Think of what you are saying. You are saying you no longer support them. You no longer love them.”
Dude, I have 3 kids but I tell them I have six, 3 of whom live in “the bushes” . Of course I tell the three real ones that “I love them so much and would never do that to them”. It still has the same effect and re-inforces that I love them…I hope. They know I am kidding anyway.
Man I love my kids and just think people must be wired really wrong to do stuff like in FLU’s post…under any circumstance.

Wow. As the mom to a 4 year old and a 7 year old, I can’t even imagine this. I suppose some parents can really lose control of a teenager and feel like they have no options. But the 5 year old? That poor boy must be terrified. His mom has just messed him up for life.
