A new law in Nebraska went into effect this summer that would absolve abandonment charges of anyone who leaves an unwanted child at a state-licensed hospital. The grandparents, who are the teen's guardians, drove over state lines to abandon her, but then wanted her back. Although the girl was returned safely, state officials warned that they cannot guarantee that a child will be returned to parents if they have a change of heart. [CNN]
