A mother left her daughter at a hospital in Nebraska under the state’s new laws saying that any child can be abandoned at will.

Police say a woman has abandoned her 18-year-old daughter at a hospital, saying she can’t control the girl, in what may be the latest use of Nebraska’s unique safe-haven law.

The woman told officials at BryanLGH Medical Center West that her daughter, who was adopted, is bipolar and has a learning disability, Assistant Police Chief Jim Peschong said Monday.

“The adoptive mother says that the daughter refused to take some medication for some conditions that she has,” Peschong said. “She won’t listen to her, can’t control her.”

If the young woman’s status is confirmed by the state, she would be the 30th child abandoned under Nebraska’s safe-haven law since it went into effect in July. A spokeswoman for the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services did not return a call seeking comment Monday.

Well, that seems like a good idea. I find it kind of funny since Nebraska is fairly conservative in every way, meaning they’d probably prefer you not abort a child, yet you can just go, “Heyyy f it, let those 10 year-olds go into the wild! They’ll figure it out! There are berries and crap out there!”

In related news, abandoned 18 year-olds are more than welcome to stay at my home. What I lack in nutritious foods and education for you, I’ll more than make up with copious jizm. And episodes of Muppet Babies.
