Smyrna boy, 12, dropped in Nebraska ?safe haven?
Mother traveled from Georgia to legally abandon child

A Smyrna mother traveled nearly 1,000 miles to abandon her 12-year-old son at a Nebraska hospital Saturday night, authorities said.

Tysheema Brown, 33, left her child at BryanLGH Medical Center East at 9:50 p.m., said Chief Tom Casady of the Lincoln, Neb., Police Department.

Brown was allowed to leave her offspring at a hospital without threat of prosecution. Nebraska?s ?safe haven? law, unlike those in other states, has no upper age limit.

Efforts by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution to reach Brown by telephone Sunday night were unsuccessful.

Todd Landry, director of the Division of Children and Family Services for the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, said in a statement that the boy has been placed in a residential shelter.

State officials are gathering information from Georgia and Nebraska, Landry said.

Nebraska?s safe haven law was intended to protect children who are in immediate danger of being harmed. It took effect in July.
