The law passed and put into action in July allows a parent or guardian to abandon a child without fear of prosecution. At first glance, the lawmakers look like they have some grand idea of saving children, but in reality, this is giving parents an outlet to dump their misbehaving teens on the state.
My opinion is: So what? If a parent doesn't want a child at any age, by all means, give them up. A parent dropped off nine children this morning. Their ages were from 1 to 17.
How traumatic for these children, but how awful to live with a parent who cares so little for their own children of any age.

I feel bad
I understand if your child is an infant, and you can't take care of them for whatever reason.
But, to give up children that have been living with you for years..
That's ridiculous, not to mention harmful to the children.
That could mess them up for years.
Opinion huh...There are days that it takes everything I have not to strangle my son... but then he sleeps. I don't understand giving away a child...but I'm not in their situation.
The law itself is probably a good thing. People already mentioned the horrible things that parents do to their children. At least it's a better outcomb.
It actually wouldn't surprise me if when they find the father, if they find him, that he didn't take his own life...better for the kids to be safe first.
