[QUOTE="DDD, post: 187485, member: 35"] Obviously there are lots of possible misuses of this law but...I think it is great that the protection of children is supported in Nebraska. There is no way that a child can be relinquished by someone who is not the legal guardian or custodian of the child. Yes, there will probably be alot of problems that arise as they fine tune the law. on the other hand, I would hope that older children could "turn themselves in" and be assured of safety. My guess is that it will rarely be implemented but that some lives will be saved by having the option available. I don't know if they still have temporary drop-off sites in any cities but at one time there were some hospitals where you could walk in with your child and take off for a few hours to cool down. The centers were happy places with toys, snacks etc. for the kids. Had there been one in my town when I was raising GFGmom I would have driven there a few times when I really, really, really though I might snap from the stress. DDD [/QUOTE]
