Another Child Left At Nebraska Hospital

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - An 8-year-old Indiana boy has been left at
an Omaha hospital, bringing to 28 the number of children left under
Nebraska's unique safe-haven law.
Children and family services division director Todd Landry says
the boy was left Thursday morning at Bergan Mercy Hospital. The
department was still gathering information on the case and offered
no other details.
At least three other children from outside the state have been
left at Nebraska hospitals and have since been returned to their
home states.
Nebraska's law says anyone can leave a child at a hospital
without fear of prosecution for the abandonment. The law uses the
word "child" and doesn't include any age limit.
A special session has been called to deal with Nebraska's
safe-haven law and most legislators have already agreed to add the
age limit of 3 days.
