I decided to do another flashback story for you today. This is another story that comes from Nebraska before the Safe Haven Laws set an age limit on children that could be given to a safe haven. A man left his nine children at a Nebraska hospital. The mother had recently passed and he felt he was unable to care for them.
This story is particularly outrageous, however, because the grandparents were more than willing to help care for the children. He never asked for their help. This makes me sad. This is definitely not in the best interests of the children. Why didn’t the man ask for help before resorting to giving the children up? They were taken out of their schools, taken away from elder siblings and other family, and placed into foster homes.
What do you think? Should safe haven locations offer to help parents take care of their children before just accepting them? Should other family members have rights to children when the parents are unwilling to care for them? Click here for article.
