How many crack or meth addicts just leave their child anywhere or desert them in places? Even though this was a really really poor way to try to find a home for a child, she may have actually been sincere in her attempt. I don't know what the laws are for that state, but in some states you are only allowed to safely leave your child at a hospital or law enforcement place up to a certain age without facing repercussions.
If she was trying to sell her kid.....lock her up. Get her help...and lock her up.

I agree with you. I'm happy she did it. At least her toddler might have a chance for a decent life now.

I think NE was one of the first states that allow a mother to drop off her child at any hospital, police station or fire department without any questions or arrests. Infact, I think they just had a big ordeal about how many kids were being dropped off there - teens and all.

Very sad...
