COMMENTS: Dump Your Teenager in Nebraska
NBC had Janet Shamlian file from Nebraska, the home of the Boys Town orphanage that Hollywood made famous, for a rueful report on that state's Safe Haven Law. A pro-life measure, it was designed to permit overwhelmed and desperate mothers of newborns to abandon their babies, no questions asked, into safe keeping at any hospital emergency room. Since the law was passed a total of 17 children have been handed over with impunity to the care of the state. None has been an infant. Most have been adolescents. "A mother crossed the state line, riding from Iowa to give up her teenaged daughter."
