I am so appalled that I am at a total loss for words. I would guess that the legislature didn't imagine this consequence because it is unimaginable. Sure, every so often a parent tosses a child out, but in hordes? And to pack them up and drive them to another state to get rid of them -- which can in no way be dismissed as spur-of-the-moment anger? Too cold-blooded for me to even fathom.
