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.

May I ask why this is upsetting?
Perhaps she should of just kicked him to the curb or something better than turning an unwanted child over to authorities that will take care of him in at least some way. (not about to comment on the state of group homes and such).

Must be a fucked up mother or a fucked up child to be left at the age of 12.

hopefully the kids in a better place now...

his mother must be a real piece of work (shit)...

it's upsetting anyone not wanting a child and disguarding them.No matter where they leave them off. Can you imagine who much that will fuck up that kid?

It happens. Just more often than not, kids are just kicked out or outright abused on a constant basis until they run away themselves.
Which you think would fuck a kid up more?

I'm sure Tysheema had good reasons to drive almost 1,000 miles to abandon her child.

are you trying to start an argument? its fucked up period.

Mr. Show did a funny ass skit featuring Bob Odenkirk's parents wanting an abortion (after Bob was already 5 years old)

It was from this same episode... (this is also FUCKING HILARIOUS)

Nope. Just doing what your doing. Voicing the thoughts in regards to it all.

is the mum from Georgia that just had a small war with russia ???

maybe she wanted to put her kid in a better place...legally

I hope that you are joking. There is much more than 1000 miles- not to mention an ocean- in between the Georgia in Asia and Nebraska.
