Apparently it is legal to dump children of any age in hospitals in Nebraska. So parents and other family members are coming from other states to do just that… A quote from the article:

“I certainly recognise and can commiserate and empathise with families across our state and across the country who are obviously struggling with parenting issues, but this is not the appropriate way of dealing with them,” said Todd Landry, head of the state’s Department of Health and Human Services’ division of children and family services.
“This is not what we intended when we said we wanted to increase Nebraska tourism,” he was quoted by the Omaha World-Herald newspaper as saying.
