In Canton on October 7 a judge ruled that parental blood does not override dedication to a child. Mrs Manful abandoned her infant in a church nursery in Wisconsin. Mrs Back and Elmer Cline cared for the child as their own. Judge Alger held that a parent who abandons a child forfeits parental rights, and that the child’s welfare and caregivers’ devotion outweigh blood ties.
