  • Father of Staton 9 wants visitation

    Man Who Left Children Asks For Visitation Rights:

    Here we are back in Nebraska with their wacky safe haven law stories.

    This time the father of the 9 kids that were all dropped off at once is now petitioning for visitation rights.

    Gary Staton, who dropped off the Staton 9, was in court this past Wednesday seeking visitation right for the 9 children he left at a safe haven.

    What do you think dear reader? Should he be allowed visitation or since he dropped them at a safe haven should he not have any visitation rights? What say you?

    Fund established to help nine abandoned children:

    This is an update on the 9 kids who were dropped off by his father under Nebraska’s new wide-open safe haven law.

    The kids, known as the Staton children, have been placed with other members of their family.

    A fund has also been started for them. You can make a donation for them at any Wells Fargo Bank. I’m not positive if that’s in NE only or if that’s bank-wide.

    At least some positive things are coming out of this story.

  • Man drops off 9 under Neb. safe haven law

    Father Talks About Abandoning His 9 Kids:

    The new Nebraska safe haven law just hit another snag. A man in Omaha dropped off his 9 kids at a safe haven.

    His wife died recently and he says he can’t take care of the kids by himself.

    So what do you think readers? Was this man justified or just selfish? Does the law need to be retooled?
