 Wednesday night, a father left his nine children at Creighton University Medical Center, citing the state’s new “Safe Haven” law.

The state’s new “Safe Haven” law was meant to protect newborns and infants from harm, but since its inception, older children have been the ones left at hospitals. The children left at Creighton Wednesday night ranged in age from one to seventeen years old, and are now in state custody. The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services has scheduled a news conference Thursday to discuss problems with the new law, and how they might be remedied by state legislators.

What is wrong with people? I understand the purpose of the law and in general think that it is an OK idea, for what it is. But seriously, how do you raise a child for 17 years and then just leave them at a hospital? And on top of that, 8 others. Did he not know how babies are made? Where is their mother? Ever hear of birth control? That man is an idiot! As as far as the law itself, maybe if the states offered more information, about safe sex and birth control, they could stop the problem before it starts! This is soooooo backwards!

“Hey teens, irresponsible people, idiots, we’ll take your unwanted babies, no questions asked, just don’t put them in a dumpster.” “What?… Free condoms?… Free birth control?… Sex Education?… That isn’t our responsibility, that would be over stepping our boundaries as a government, and it would promote teens having sex!” Does that make ANY sense to ANYONE? Give me a break! That is seriously messed up!

This is why I have vowed to myself and my children and grandchildren and great grandchildren, that I AM going to do something to change this. There shouldn’t be a need for Safe Haven.

If this seemed harsh I apologize. I DO NOT promote teens having sex, I am AGAINST abortion, but maybe just maybe if we approached the problem from a prevention stand point instead of fix after the fact, we could stop children from being abandoned. I don’t know how, but I’m going to figure out a way. They are doing a great thing. But even if the baby is left at a safe place, it’s still abandoned. If the mother doesn’t have to leave any information and no questions asked, how is that child going to know where they came from? What will that do to them as adults?
