Love Over Blood in Custody Case Wins in Canton
In Canton on October 5 a court ruled that a mother's claim to a child abandoned with the Clines and raised as their own outweighs the legal tie of blood. Judge Alger held that a parent who abandons a child is not determined solely by blood, prioritizing the child’s welfare and established guardianship over mere biological relation. The case centered on Baby Ellen, a custody dispute shifting from Mrs. Martha Manful of Wisconsin to the Canton foster couple.
