“`right of visitation does not give custody.'”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““If, for instance, a boy whose custody had been awarded by the district court to his father should by reason of some serious delinquency be regularly committed by the juvenile court to the state reformatory, assuming that to be authorized by the statute (Gen. Stat. 1915, §3073), oí — as often happens — to the state industrial school, it would seem quite out of keeping with the general plan of administering such matters if the duration of his stay there could be controlled by the district court in virtue of its reserved jurisdiction, and that situation would not be essentially different from the one here presented, so far as relates to the jurisdiction of the district court, for even such a commitment would not be for the purpose of punishment, but for the welfare of the child. (In re Turner, 94 Kan. 115 , 145 Pac. 871 .)” (p. 118.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Trent v. Bellamy““The 'record shows the requirements of the statute were complied with. The adoption having been regularly made, the status of the child was changed —it was no longer the child of its natural parents, but by virtue of the adoption became the child of the adoptive parents ... To accomplish • that end the adoption statutes were enacted. An order of adoption regularly made by the probate court and not appealed from (See Heydorf v. Cooper, 90 Kan. 511 , 135 Pac. 578 ), determines the status of the child.” (p. 275.)”
