it IS sad - but assuming that you can know in advance that your child will have severe behavioral problems as they grow up is a pretty big assumption to make. so is assuming that these were all planned pregnancies or that circumstances (finances and relationship status) haven't changed since the birth. EVERYBODY hopes for the best when they get pregnant. it doesn't always work out that way...

some of these children have been diagnosed as bipolar which certainly has biological and neurological components. meds and behavioral interventions can help treat the symptoms, but they are financially and labor intensive. i'm just shocked there weren't more children with disorders such as autism and mental retardation being dropped off.

i think the problems in nebraska simply highlight problems throughout the nation. nebraska may have fixed their immediate problem, but i can't help but think of other parents who may be in similar situations with nowhere to turn now. adjusting the age ranges only hides the problem now...
