NorCal Boy Abandoned Under Nebraska Safe-Haven Law

YOLO COUNTY (AP) ― Nebraska officials say a 14-year-old California boy has become the last child reported abandoned under the state's safe-haven law.

Nebraska officials say the boy from Yolo County was driven to Nebraska's Kimball County Hospital on Friday by his mother.

Authorities say the boy has been placed in a foster home while state officials contact the appropriate agencies in California.

That brings to 36 the number of children left at Nebraska hospitals since the state's law went on the books in July.

That law did not specify an age limit for drop-offs, but lawmakers changed the statute Friday to limit drop-offs to infants no more than 30 days old. The California boy was left before the law took effect Saturday.
