Nebraska safe haven child drop offs - shock and awe

Of the 17 or so children relinquished since the law took effect in July, only four are younger than 10 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95843541

Imagine the jaw-dropping moment when the 10, 11 or 12 year old lands in the ER and watches his or her parent actually walks out the door - broken children that will never heal! Unimaginable pain! The state can find food and shelter but no solace. As a CASA, I have seen the heartbreak up close.
