Has anyone else been following this crazy Safe-Haven Law goof in Nebraska?  Parents are actually abandoning their teenagers at the footsteps of Nebraskan hospitals.  Starting today, it won't be legal anymore, but nonetheless, this really begs the question - what led these parents to do such a thing? 

Yes, this never should have been legal to begin with (very poor legistative thinking here, folks), but regardless.

On the one hand, I'm thinking that these parents are just so selfish, incompetent, impatient, and/or twisted to leave their own kid at some random hospital thousands of miles away.  On the other hand, maybe these parents just feel absolutely helpless, hopeless, desperate, and alone, especially if the kids have special needs (and many of these fall through the cracks).

It just seems so heart-wrenching.  What you guys think?
