Suit seeks to keep mentally retarded children in proper education
The Defenders' Association filed in Common Pleas court to bar family division from sending mentally retarded children to institutions lacking education. A writ of custody is sought for children in homes not providing ordered services. If upheld, the ruling would push state to place children in suitable settings and allow court review of Public Welfare regulations governing state-licensed institutions.
