Boy could be 23rd child abandoned at Neb. hospital
OMAHA, Neb. – A 17-year-old boy left at a hospital in Lincoln, Neb., may be counted as the 23rd child abandoned under the state's unique safe-haven law.
Lincoln police say the boy's parents took him to BryanLGH Medical Center West late Tuesday.
Police Capt. Jim Thoms says the parents told officers the boy wouldn't follow their rules and that they couldn't afford some programs he needed.
If the boy's status is confirmed Wednesday, he would be the 23rd child abandoned under the law.
Nebraska's safe-haven law is the only one in the country that lets caregivers leave children as old as 18 at a state-licensed hospital without fear of prosecution for the abandonment.
Gov. Dave Heineman called a news conference for later Wednesday and said he would address the safe-haven law. His spokeswoman would not confirm whether Heineman would be calling a special session to change the law.
A majority of state senators have agreed to revise the law so that only infants up to 3 days old could be dropped off.
