OMAHA, Neb. -- The man who left his nine children at an Omaha hospital is asking for visitation rights.
Gary Staton was in a Douglas County Juvenile courtroom Wednesday morning for a hearing regarding the status of his children.
Staton left his children, ranging from ages 1 to 17, at the Creighton University Medical Center on Sept. 24 in connection with the state’s new safe haven law.
So far, a total of 17 children have been left at Nebraska hospitals within the last month under the safe haven law.
Staton’s attorneys filed a motion that asked the judge to not release the names and ages of the children. They also asked that the hearing be closed to the public.
The court has yet to reach a decision on where the children should be placed.
