Bad Nebraska News
Not only can you abandon your newborns at the hospitals, you can also abandon any child under the age of 19 in “Safe Haven” areas. WTF? Child Care and Responsibility -2 penalty.
Makes me both happy and embarassed to be a Nebraskan.
The dollar’s shoring up, making oil prices drop another $6+. Hoping this is good news for consumers, but I won’t bet on it. I look at it this way: At least we’re not China, who’s going to crash hard sometime after the Olympics from all their artificial stimulation and boosting of their own internal economy.
EDIT: Okay, I do agree that Safe Havens are great things to have. I agree that maybe some abused kids should be able to get out of bad families. However, I can see this being abused by parents who could really do it if they tried, but since they have an easy out, they are tempted to take it. My problem is that with present day young parents, being allowed to dump your teenager off when they get unruly is not helping anyone. All it reinforces is that if it gets hard, quit.
