All I have to say is, shame on those parents! The law should be changed! What message does this send to the child? It tells them that when the going gets tough, just quit! I agree with the Nebraska governor, these parents are proving they don't love & support their kids.
If I was in charge, I'd take away all parenting rights from these parents! No more claiming your kids on taxes, never be allowed to be a foster parent, never be allowed to adopt, and if you have a kid of your own, the state takes custody until you take parenting classes and are deemed fit to raise another child. Afterall, they may just be parents for the money, and attention from friends.
Honestly, I wonder what these sorry exuses for parents will say when they try to re-connect with their kids years later?!?!..... "Hey no hard feelings about dumping you in Nebraska so I can have an easy life. I need you to support me now that I'm old, and I wanna see my grandkids!"
Hey, that's a great idea. The kids can get revenge later by dumping their parents in the worst nursing homes. Then they'll know how it feels
