A woman took her 2, 3, and 4 year old children to a Lincoln, NE hospital recently. Although all of the children were too old to be legally covered under the Safe Haven Laws, the children were safely taken in after the woman told the hospital of her plan to kill the children and herself. She was financially unable to care for the children and obviously mentally ill as her plot to drown them shows. The woman has not been charged, but is receiving mental help.
This case goes to show how much help is out there for overwhelmed mothers. Even though the Safe Haven Laws could not be specifically applied, no mother will be turned down and told she must keep the children if they are over the age limit. The purpose of these laws is simply to keep children safe, not make it difficult to make a decision regarding their safety.
