A MOTHER'S PLEA
Q.: My six children were taken away from me by the Child Welfare Department. Five of them are m a home, but the eldest girl, now 15, has been sent to work at various places by the department as it suits them. Can I take her from them as my married daughter, who is ill, with two children and has a good home, wants her to help?— " Anxious Mother" (Hawera). A.: It is your misfortune that the legislature m enacting this tyrannical legislation possibly by design, possibly through ignorance, omitted to enact any means by which your legal rights as mother can be revived or the future custody of the children legally reviewed. The children are irrevocably committed until they are 21 or older and even then are subject to the indirect control of the department by virtue of its power to retain their earnings.
