Will someone please explain this new law to me?

Asked by JackAdams (6574points) August 25th, 2008

Nebraska has a new law now, described in this article:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26353351/?GT1=43001

Unless I am totally misunderstanding it (and I just might be) parents can now take their kids somewhere, drop them off and say, “I don’t want him/her in my life, anymore.”

Is that it? You can now “get rid” of your kids, if you wish? You can now give up your parental responsibilities and suddenly become childless if you wish? You can change your mind about having kids?

I wonder what kind of psychological damage is done to a child, when s/he discovers, “My Mommy & Daddy don’t want me, anymore.”

I hope that I am mis-reading the article, or misunderstanding it.
