Breaking News: Nebraska Safe Haven Law No More

After taking in 18 children -- none of whom were newborn babies -- Nebraska has decided to scrap its safe haven law to place more restrictions, according to Strollerderby.

The state plans to take only babies three days or younger. From Strollerderby:

The governor is hoping to get the law amended without calling a special session -- or leaving too much time for a flood of tweens and teens to come in. Health and Human services is spending $100,000 to promote a helpline for frustrated parents and guardians. They're also sending letters to adoptive parents and guardians of former state wards listing phone numbers and websites for agencies that can help them.

They are also reminding Nebraskans of Boys Town, a famous home for troubled youth.

What do you think of Nebraska altering its law? What can legislators do to help the frustrated parents of older children?
