If you’re stopping off in Nebraska to visit the pioneer buildings on display at the Lincoln County Historical Museum or wanting to enjoy Buffalo Bill Cody’s Scout’s Rest Ranch, spare a thought for those taking a trip to the state to take advantage of the recent safe haven law.

Under the recent law, people cannot be prosecuted in Nebraska for leaving a child with a hospital employee on duty. Apparently the loose drafting has now led to two teens being left in the state.

“This is not what we intended when we said we wanted to increase Nebraska tourism”
Todd Landry, children and family services director for Nebraska’s Department of Health and Human Services, to the Omaha World-Herald newspaper
