An 8-year-old Indiana boy has been left at an Omaha hospital, bringing to 28 the number of children left under Nebraska's unique safe-haven law.
Children and family services division director Todd Landry says the boy was left Thursday morning at Bergan Mercy Hospital. The department was still gathering information on the case and offered no other details.
At least three other children from outside the state have been left at Nebraska hospitals and have since been returned to their home states.
Nebraska's law says anyone can leave a child at a hospital without fear of prosecution for the abandonment. The law uses the word "child" and doesn't include any age limit.
A special session has been called to deal with Nebraska's safe-haven law and most legislators have already agreed to add the age limit of 3 days.
