Law Allows Abandoning Teens

October 16, 2008 | ISSUE 44•42

A Nebraska law designed to protect newborns and infants has instead allowed parents to abandon children up to age 19 at hospitals. What do you think?

  • That's outrageous. Hospitals aren't supposed to be like a common casino parking lot.

  • Okay, but why not look on the bright side? Maybe some of those abandoned teens will quickly learn how to be doctors.

  • But raising kids is hard. I don't wanna do it. No! Stop it! You can't make me! I won't do it!
