Can you leave your teenagers there until they turn 18?

In Texas, they have the Baby Moses law, where you can leave your baby at a hospital, fire station or EMS station without penalty.

They have places for adolescents, Brad. They're called juvenile detention, or 'joovy' for short. I put my kid in one, or at least, the state did, and I thank them for it!

An old idea that goes at least as far back as Napoleonic France, probably farther. It's not an ideal solution to unwanted children, but certainly far better than the abortion mills.

Wasn't Quasimodo placed in the cradle before Notre Dame?

"Great is his reward in heaven."

Yes. He's doing God's work. He couldn't deserve any less.
