Law Flaw in Shutter Custody Case Faces Board
Judge Paylor ruled the 1839 act authorizing boards of children’s guardians may be unconstitutional and that the 1891 amendment replacing township with county is problematic. He said parents have a right to their children and that destitute cases may be taken in, but restoration should occur if guardians can care for them. The decision is not final and a further hearing is set for next Monday with Gertrude Shutter remaining with the board in the interim.
