OMAHA, Neb. — Nebraska authorities say a 17-year-old boy dropped off by his mother at an Omaha hospital is the 30th child left under Nebraska's safe-haven law.
Children and family services director Todd Landry said the boy from the Omaha area was left at Creighton University Medical Center on Monday morning. He didn't give any details about the boy.
Landry also said an 18-year-old woman left at a Lincoln hospital by her mother on Sunday was not being handled as a safe-haven case. A state Health and Human Services spokeswoman said another state law won't let authorities take in children older than 17.
Nebraska's safe-haven law was intended to protect unwanted newborns but it doesn't specify an age limit.
