The Herald.

l.
Charging cruelty and heartless
treatment Of mothers whose children
have been taken by the Board OF
Children's Guardians. delegation OF
fifteen mothers visited The Herald
Offices last night TO protest against
treatment accorded them at the Offices
of the board in the District Building.
The mothers. many Of whom have
not seen their children for years and
do not know where they are. declare
that they are met with harsh replies
and. heartless ridicule when they ask
permission to visit the children in
their foster homes.
They don't seem to realize, that we
are the mothers Of these children and
they mean everything in the world
to US. one mother said. IF 1t wasn't
for the hope of seeing my children
couldn't live"
sight of Children Denied.
While the Board of Guardians de-
clares 1t is its policy to give parents
permission to see their children, a
large number of last nights delega-
tion asserted they have been denied
this privilege within the last two
weeks In addition to this charge, the
mothers say that because some of
them have assisted investigators and
welfare workers in investigating
boarding homes" they have been de-
MED the right of access to their chill
dren.
One Of the mothers related that
three of her children now in custody
of the Board of Guardians are not in
school. Anothet case. that of a IL
-year-old girl. reveals that the child
attended school only three weeks
during the last year.
Another mother declared she Lad
besieged the boards office for more
than week in an effort to, learn
the whereabouts of her daughter.
Until lately the child's location was
known to the mother. 1t is said, but
recently she was removed to a 5e-
cret place
Gone for Three Years.
Still another mother whose thre.
children have been with the Board
of Guardians for three years, tle-
clared that during the entire period
she has not known where they have
been. On ore occasion, she relatea,
one of the children was brought to
the District Building and she was
allowed to see it for few minutes.
One case in which three children
were removed because of poverty
revealed the offer of a reputab BILE
woman of means to keep the chill
dren If they were returned to the
custody of their mother. She de-
clares the Guardians have not even
been to her home to see If IT is ade-
Quate. The children are still in a
boarding home in a nearby State.
officials in charge of the Guar
dams office said last night that in
certain cases 1t was the policy Of
the board to withhold the address
of the children. This is done, 1t was
explained, to prevent KIDNAPPING and
to avoid unnecessary trouble be-
tween irate parents and the foster
parents of the children.
