Child Care Not a Proper Basis for Custody Charge.

Gershon, Elissa

Child Care Information Exchange, n108 p17-19 Mar-Apr 1996

Discusses the reversal of the ruling in the custody case of "Ireland vs. Smith." Points out that initially Jennifer Ireland lost custody of her daughter solely because she placed her in family day care while she attended college classes. Examines the case as an illustration of a judicial bias against out-of-home child care and working mothers in general. (AA)
