Maybe the law needs to be revised so the kids whose parents would abandon them could just drop off their parents at the police department... I'm just sayin'!

....paved with good intentions.

The mother was running out of more than patience when she abandoned her 18-year-old daughter at a hospital

In my house, if my 18 year old daughter does not live up to the standards in the house, she's out of here. I don't need to drop her off at any hospital. (Fortunately, my girls are all wonderful conservatives, albeit a bit flakey at times....)

Abandoning an 18 year old?

Unreal.....

[Redgirl]

If the girl is 18 why is she being sent there?

[JRandomFreeper]

I dropped mine off at the recruiter's office. They had a choice. They could pick which recruiter's office I dropped them at. ;)

I need to move to Nebraska...

(just kidding, mother of a 17-year-old daughter, just shoot me)

[Paperdoll]

Some one abandoned an 18 year old daughter? I got married at 19! Was the poor girl hopelessly retarded?

[Klepto]

I have seen many a bizarre thing in my long life but this is likely in the top 10. It’s like a bad sitcom

To the state's surprise and embarrassment, more than half of the 31 children legally abandoned under the safe-haven law since it took effect in mid-July have been teenagers

"The state" has obviously never raised a teenager.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahaha! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

My heart and door is always open for attractive, legal-aged women.

She's eighteen! I may be a creep, but I'm not breaking the law! =)

I guess these “parents” must think it works like leaving your pet at the pound. On the other hand, I suppose it makes a pretty good threat for mouthy teens: “Either you shape up, or I’ll drop you off at the hospital.”

[Psycho_Bunny]

Ah....The Law of Unintended Laws strikes again.

[Smokin' Joe]

Well, next it will be drop off your old folks...

Soylent Green is people!

[Force of Truth]

She can stay at my place until she gets on her feet.

[Defiant]

The mom was mad because her daughter had just voted for McCain.

[ken21]

why don’t they dump chuck hagel while they’re at it?

[MARTIAL MONK]

Will they take a 31-year-old?

[Petronski]

Why did she need to abandon an 18-year-old?

When my kids were younger, there were a lot of times I threatened to get a seller’s account on Ebay and auction them off. But I didn’t. I was afraid I’d get bad feedback from the winners after they took delivery. ;-)
