Irony is the enemy of the post-modern left(tm)

Nebraska passed a “safe haven” law similar to those in other states that allow unready parents to abandon newborns at hospitals. However, they forgot to include an age limit (the law just says “children”), and so people are abandoning kids all the way to age 17 and even driving in from other states to do so.

I’m glad that they didn’t have this when I was a teenager, or my parents might have (justifiably) driven me to Nebraska.
Some people definitely should not be parents; imagine being a kid and having your parents dump you someplace, and being old enough to appreciate the sense of rejection and finality of it. When I was a kid, my parents would pretend to dump me off at orphanages, and leave me sitting outside the gates while they drove off for up to an hour to go out to dinner or to grab an ice cream cone. Usually that was a summer time diversion for them, and it gave me issues to deal with for a long time. So the thought of people driving an adolescent or younger child to Nebraska, must be horrible to the child, if they are aware at all of what is going on.
