Report No. 83
1.3. The child in society.-
It is unnecessary to underscore the social significance of legislation dealing with children. It was Sophocles who said that children are the anchors that hold a mother to life. This puts beautifully the elementary proposition that the bond between the mother and a child of tender years is one that should be regarded as sacrosanct. Unfortunately, some of the provisions of the Act do not reflect this attitude to the fullest degree. These provisions will therefore occupy our serious attention.
