I disagree--a woman has a very large cat that she proudly holds, yet she abandons her adult daughter? People abandoning their children because they'll be criminals if they wait too long? That's not a 'good' parent, to say the least. And in a day and age where food stamps and social services are being advertised in the media, the bit about not knowing what services are available--bullshit. I feel sorry for the children; I have little sympathy for the parents."They aren't bad parents or bad kids. They simply don't know what services are available out there."

While I rather disagree with the broad scope of the law, I think this woman was genuinely trying to get help any way she could.The Lincoln mother who dropped off her 18-year-old daughter said she was repeatedly turned down when she sought help from police, state social services authorities and the girl's school. The woman said her daughter had been diagnosed with a mental illness when she was 12 and had deep psychological scars from childhood abuse and from being left alone with her dead biological mother for a week.
The woman said she felt she had no choice but to leave her daughter at the hospital after a recent flurry of assault, stealing, sleeping around and cutting school.
"I thought she would get help" through the safe-haven law, the mother said.
However, state authorities refused to take the young woman into custody, saying Nebraska law regarding juveniles does not let authorities take in anyone older than 17. The woman left with her daughter.
i totally agree, i was about to write something similarI'm not sure the terms "good" and "bad" really have any place is a conversation abuot a problem this complex; these people are obviously desparate.
