Law that saves children from pauperism and crime
The juvenile court law in Illinois, championed by Judge Marvey B. Hurd and advocate Helen Flower, created a state backed system to protect children beyond property. It centralized child welfare through chancery power and prompted Cook County to open a juvenile court on July 1 with Judge Richard Tuthill, marking a reform to prevent delinquency and dependency.
