On July 18, 2008, Nebraska became the last state to institute a “safe haven law,” decriminalizing the act of abandoning an infant at a state hospital. Only five lines long, the law had one glaring omission — the government never defined an age limit. Since July, 30 children, most of them teens or preteens, have been abandoned at Nebraska hospitals. Four children were even driven from other states and left by their parents. Oddly enough, the law has had no effect on those it attempted to protect: no infants have been abandoned yet.
