I’ve been watching the developments in Nebraska regarding their absolutely ridiculous safe-haven law allowing parents to abandon their children at state hospitals. Can you imagine being a self-consumed shiftless parent that dumps your kid at some hospital as they cry hysterically and plead with you not to leave them?
IMHO, this only gives lazy-ass parents the ability to *dump* their children on a porch-step only to escape the God-given responsibility of raising their kids. Granted, some people should not be charged with raising a goldfish or a lizard. Can you imagine the trauma and stress placed on a child as they’re told, “I cannot handle you and I’m abandoning you?”
Fortunately Nebraska, realizing their error today placed a 30-day age limit on the provision permitting children to be legally abandoned at hospitals. The law approved in July set no age limit and as a result more than 34 children, some as old as 17 were dumped at hospitals. Of those were nine of 10 children an Omaha man left after his wife died. How convenient.
Now comes this piece of Indiana human debris.
Why Wabash County mom abandoned 8-year-old in Nebraska“I don’t want Indiana to have custody of him.”
[...]
“I took him there where I knew he would be safe because I didn’t trust the welfare system in Indiana and I didn’t want him to go through what I went through when I was growing up through the welfare system in Indiana,” she said. “So I felt like it would be the best thing to do would be to take him there where he would be safe.”
Mote would not say how Indiana’s system failed her, but a friend told The Indianapolis Star that Mote feels Indiana’s system failed her when she was abused as a child.
“She didn’t abandon him. She just wanted to get him help. She didn’t feel he’d get the help he needed in the state of Indiana,” said Rhonda Shea, who shares a Wabash County home with Mote and was acting as her spokeswoman.
Bullshit.
Shiftless - lazy - irresponsible.
The father of Mote’s son had custody of the boy after the couple separated more than two years ago, but the child moved in with Mote in April after Miami County authorities arrested the father for failing to register as a sex offender. The father had been convicted of child molesting in 1988. Mote divorced the father in September.
Shea said the boy’s behavior overwhelmed his mother. Although he’s 8, he’s not fully toilet-trained, and can be destructive, such as clawing paint off the walls and intentionally clogging the toilet, she said.
I’m pretty angry posting this. She actually let the child live with a convicted child molester?
There has to be other options.

What a convenient place for a sex offender to be employed, a shopping center food court.
