bta," she said. II have not heard Of
any abuse Of this power by a Judge, and
believe that children and their par
ents are amply protected against the
misuse OF this power by the right of ap-
peal to the higher courts and the right
OF appeal to the President and to the
Congress.
ITO my mind, the most autocratic au-
tnority granted the court is the power
to take child from its parents. The
placement of the child. comes second
and seems to me only fair to all parties
that the Judge who assumes the re-
sponSibility for removing the child from
its natural guardians should be charged
with the responsibility for properly plac-
ing the child"
