Here is an interesting article on the state of child welfare in Nebraska.

One point in particular I just touched on in a previous post.  When Safe Haven was first enacted in Nebraska, any child under the age of 18 could be legally abandoned at an approved location.  This caused dozens of teenagers to be given up.  This, of course, was not the intent of the laws.  They wanted to save babies from ending up in dumpsters, not give parents an easy out from their responsibilities.  Some may agree, some may disagree, but there is logic behind these age limits.
