So what happens here when a child is abandoned?
-
The hospital contacts social services.
-
The act of abandonment immediately labels the parents unfit
-
and the child becomes a ward of the state.
-
So he goes into foster care.
-
Ideally but most parents won't take older children.
-
In which case he'd be sent to a juvenile facility.
-
The same one that houses delinquents?
-
That's right.
-
Did Northern Omaha Medical register an adolescent boy
-
as a ward of the state on that day?
-
Garcia said no but she's still looking.
