Law Allows Abandoning Teens

Thursday, October 16, 2008

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?

Matt Witter,
Hardware Salesman
"That's outrageous. Hospitals aren't supposed to be like a common casino parking lot."

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

Kathryn Duno,
Telephone Operator
"But raising kids is hard. I don't wanna do it. No! Stop it! You can't make me! I won't do it!"
