5. Another law: Safe-Haven Law
Did the former rulings, thus laws, about spanking children already
made us suspicious about how the Western Angelo-Saxic culture goes about
with children, there is another law that introduces doubts about it.
The Safe-Haven Law permits parents to drop their unruly children in a
hospital, infants and teeners, actally abandoning them.

Two boys ages 15 and 11 were left at
Nebraska
hospitals over the weekend, the first youngsters surrendered under the
state's new safe-haven law that allows caregivers to abandon children
and teens as well as infants, officials said.
[... The law] allows any caregiver, not just a parent,
to leave a child at any state-licensed hospital without fear of
prosecution.
[Senator] Stuthman's bill was signed into law as a way of protecting children
from
immediate danger or harm, said Landry, who didn't believe the two cases
Saturday carried that sense of urgency.

allows caregivers to abandon youngsters up to age 19 without fear of
prosecution. [...]
None of the kids dropped off so far have been in danger.
[...] "Abandoning teenagers was not the original intent of the law",
[Senator] Stuthman
said Thursday.
