...what happens from the child's point of view? When the child is left at the hospital law enforcement is immediately notified. They will go to the hospital, they will place the child in 48-hour custody, and then they transfer the child to the Dept. of Health and Human Services. Then we look [to place them in] a relative's home first because it's someone that they already have a relationship with. If not, we go with a foster home. Most of the kids are in foster homes. Then it's a regular court process in juvenile court...
...Nebraska legislature is meeting to change the safe haven law so that it only applies to babies younger than 3 days old. How soon will that change occur? As soon as the governor signs the bill it will immediately become law and go into effect. The soonest it will happen will be November 21, one week after the session convenes. At that point, if a person leaves a child who is outside the age limit, then that person can be criminally prosecuted for the abandonment of that child...
...play a game to see if you know how to survive an earthquake. (I scored only 9 out of 14 on the first try, but now I am totally rocking an 11.) You can download audio to accompany the drill. You can watch a YouTube video about what would happen to California in such a quake. And, starting at 10:02 a.m. on Thursday, you can play a sprawling, multiplayer collaboration game called After Shock to see what happens on the other side...

In fact, the people who matter most in a real-world emergency - the neighbors, office workers and students who do the majority of the lifesaving during big disasters - are almost never invited...
...umbrella group for all the organizers. They run outside or inside. Or they run to a doorway, which is no longer considered wise. Most injuries occur when people try to move during the shaking. It is much safer to drop, cover and hold on close to wherever you happen to be standing. Children actually are much better at this - because they have regular drills in school...
