The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“I.C.P.C., Article III(a)(b) (Conditions for Placement) in effect establishes conditions precedent to a subject child’s lawful establishment of residence in a signatory state by requiring compliance with each and every requirement of Article III “prior to placement in foster care or as a preliminary to a possible adoption”. Non-compliance is determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator of the receiving state and return of the child to the state of origin is mandated unless approval of the Administrator is granted. This calls into question the court’s jurisdiction over the child prior to administrative approval of residence in the state.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“An unlawful placement should be rectified or terminated immediately. [Emphasis in original.] Those who have perpetrated or participated in an unlawful placement should not be allowed to benefit from it. Consequently, unless the placement can be converted to a legal one and this is done, the child should be removed from the placement and returned to the sending party in accordance with Compact.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Concomitantly the executive role of the state as guardian and parens patriae, which also encompasses its responsibility to protect all dependant infants and incompetents under its general police powers and duty to provide for the general welfare is ignored by recent decisions.”
