In Re Tillotson

Summary

The court affirmed the juvenile court's order committing the child to the Convent of Good Shepherd. It held that the parents' appearance cured any defect in the summons, that evidence introduced at the hearing supplied any deficiency in the petition, and that the juvenile court had jurisdiction over the neglected or delinquent child. The court also held that criminal-trial rules concerning corroboration of a confession did not apply because the proceeding was not criminal.
