To Be a Teen in Nebraska

All parents of teenagers have had evil thoughts and considered ditching their grumpy adolescents on street corners. But it's shocking to think that someone would actually do this.
Guess what? It's happening in Nebraska.
A new Nebraska law "was mainly intended to prevent so-called Dumpster babies--the abandonment of newborns by young, terrified mothers--but instead has been used to hand off out-of-control teenagers. In total last month, 15 older children in Nebraska were dropped off by a beleaguered parent or custodial aunt or grandmother who said the children were unmanageable. The biggest shock to public officials came last week, when a single father walked into an Omaha hospital and surrendered nine of his 10 children, ages 1 to 17, saying that his wife had died and he could no longer cope with the burden of raising them."
