Baby Held for $16 Debt Is Returned to Parents
In Carlisle, a court ordered the return of an eight month old baby held by a neighboring family as security for a $106 debt. Judge Fred S. Reese stated that a parent has more claim to a child than a lien on property. The baby's father, a 40 year old war veteran, said he left the child with the Millers while his wife was in the hospital and that the family demanded money for keeping the child, despite no formal agreement.
