Yeah, it's pretty shitty that some parents were dumping teens off because they were in the midst of a spat, but I'll take dumped teens if it means also providing a safe place for children who are older than newborns but are still being abused. I'm sure you've heard of Caylee Anthony. THERE is a classic case of the failure of the safe haven law. Just a toddler, not more than a baby, but definitely not a newborn... therefore, wouldn't qualify to have a safe haven. Instead, she died. And I agree with you that there are a lot of programs available out there, but such strict guidelines that almost nobody qualifies for them. Several years ago my husband and I weren't doing nearly as well as we are now. He brought home in TWO WEEKS what *I*, on my own, now make in a week. We applied for food stamps, and found out that we made $12 a YEAR too much. Sickening, isn't it? You practically have to be on the street and not have a pot to piss in in order to qualify for the help. And lastly, I too have ranted about the anonymous factor about the safe havens. If it's so anonymous, then why are the news stations blathering on about it? When you start giving descriptions of the baby, descriptions of the person who dropped it off, times and places, it isn't hard for locals to put two and two together... bye by anonymous. :( I think it sucks that they’re changing the law back to newborns only.
