Secret of Susie Newton Sealed by State Records
A Massachusetts case pits a mother Mrs. Margaret White of Ocean Bluff against state guardianship over Susie A. Newton. Authorities refuse to reveal Susie’s foster home despite the mother’s 18 year search. The Hunt Asylum and the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children say records must stay sealed unless a court orders disclosure. The daughter may decide if a reunion occurs, law requires secrecy, and officials note Susie may not want contact with her birth mother.
