It was supposed to be a safety valve for unwed mothers. It was supposed to be a humane alternative to trashing newborns in dumpsters. But what it also illustrated is that some parents have had enough of their spoiled rotten, rude, narcissistic offspring and were willing to just up and walk away from them, no questions asked.
A 14-year-old California boy became the last teenager reported abandoned under Nebraska's safe-haven law, which was just changed to limit such drop-off to infants 30-days-old or less. The boy, from Yolo County, Calif., was left at the Kimball County Hospital late Friday afternoon by his mother, who drove to Nebraska.
It brought the total number of drop-offs to 27, and the total number of children left at a hospital to 36 since the law went on the books in July. Many of them were preteens or teenagers as old as 17.
So, for all you wise-ass kids out there, Nebraska may have changed the law but the sentiment remains: some of us parents have a limit to the crap we'll take and can (and will) drop you off in a heartbeat if that golden opportunity presents itself.
Think about THAT the next time you decide to have a tantrum.

I said it before, and I will say it again… When a law that was “supposed to be ” and a man uses it (which is what started this whole thing), it will change.
