Champion fights for custody of her child in court
Barbara Champion, 19, vows to continue seeking custody of the son she birthed at four days old after a two year legal battle. Delaware County and Superior Court rulings in 1962 stripped her parental rights, assigning custody to the adoptive parents. Champion, unemployed and living with her grandmother, asserts she is fighting for her child’s future amid ongoing petitions and appeals.

Judge denies delay, orders welfare checks restored
U.S. District Judge Charles Weiner rejects the state's request for a stay and orders the commonwealth to promptly reinstate welfare benefits for about 90,000 former recipients aged 18 to 45 deemed able to work. Attorney Stanley Slipakoff says he will appeal to the 3rd U.S. Circuit for a stay. The ruling last week found the 1982 law unconstitutional for age discrimination.
