Check Conditions
Before Returning
Dependent Child,
Dr. Colberg Urges
A plea that the children’s
homes of this area—despite legis
lative, budget and other pressure
—give thorough consideration to
home conditions before returning
a child to the parents from whom
he has been taken, at least tem
porarily, was made before the
Health Council by Dr. A. J. Col
berg.
Children were not taken from
their homes, he pointed out, ex
cept for three major reasons: dis
ease, usually tuberculosis; or the
moral and financial problems
caused by liquor.
Dr. Colberg cited cases where
returning a child to his home
would in the long run cost the
Territory more money than care
in a children’s home. He stressed
the fact that in a children’s home
the child is given education, nour
ishment and Christian instruction.
In his own home—from which he
had been removed for cause—he
may lack all of these as well as
proper physical and medical care,
Dr. Colberg said.
“If his own home becomes a
proper place, the child should be
returned. But if the Territory is
supporting the parents, if health
and moral conditions are unfit,
the child will have a better chance
in one of the children’s homes,”
he said.
