Eleven Nebraska children abandoned under safe haven law
Eleven children aged 1 to 17 were left at Omaha hospitals under Nebraska safe haven rules allowing abandonment up to age 19. Nine siblings from one family were dropped at Creighton University Medical Center by their unidentified father, with two unrelated boys later surrendered at Immanuel Medical Center. Authorities report over a dozen such cases since the law took effect, amid debates over the law’s scope and intent.
