Child mental healthcare sub-par

This article can be reached Mondays-Fridays 8AM-5PM at the following address: http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/conditions/11/21/mental.health.kids/index.html

This article uses a recent issue: the drop-off law in Nebraska and the disturbing results, to introduce a larger issue: the lack of adequate mental healthcare for children. Although it only references the first point vaguely, I believe it's the the law that allows parents to drop off children at a local hospital if they can't handle raising them. So, this went over well with parents who proceeded to drop off 35 children, 29 of them being older than 10 years old, something the hospital didn't see coming.

The Carter Center attributes this not to negligence of parents, but of the rates of untreated mental illnesses in children which complicate their moods and make it difficult to raise them. I think that's being very generous to the parents.

Lede: Not so urgent, a softer lede that introduces a longer article, almost featurey.
As mental health advocates, policy makers, practitioners, educators and researchers gathered at the Carter Center to discuss the progress in addressing American children's mental health needs, a drama of sorts was reaching its conclusion halfway across the country.

The nut graf is the fifth paragraph down, a longer one since it has to link the law in Nebraska to the problem of lack of affordable child mental healthcare.
The rest of the article addresses this issue by citing recent shootings and the lack of knowledge about mental health in children.
In the second-to-the-last paragraph, a short quote leads the reader back to the opener about Nebraska, a really nice move. Then it ends with a quote, a really strong quote:
"We need to see this as an opportunity to say 'this is why we need a stronger mental health system,' not that we should only let people drop off the babies. This is a clarion call to say why it is so important that we build a mental health system that supports children and families. Because these are families that are crying out for help, and we are saying there is nobody there."
