Yaup.

Something that crossed the screen this morning got my attention - check this out:

"The main interest I have is that it gives the mother or a parent another option of what to do with a child before they do something drastic," he said.

Welcome to the latest version of a Safe Haven law - from the last state to develop one. You're familiar with Safe Haven laws, right? Where you can take your kid to a identified location, drop off the kid, and don't even have to wave goodbye?

This one goes to 19. That's years of age, folks.

This has been on the books since July 18th - no case of it being used as such as well, but I'm just waiting for the first really difficult-to-manage kid shows up at an ER.
