Sec. 1.
Legislative
findings and policy.
It is hereby found and declared: (1) that juveniles who are not under
proper supervision and control, or who have absconded, escaped or run away,
are likely to endanger their own health, morals and welfare, and the
health, morals and welfare of others; (2) that the cooperation of this
State with other States is necessary to provide for the welfare and
protection of juveniles and of the people of this State.
It shall therefore be the policy of this State, in adopting the
Interstate Compact on Juveniles, to cooperate fully with other States: (1)
in returning juveniles to such other States whenever their return is
sought; and (2) in accepting the return of juveniles whenever a juvenile
residing in this State is found or apprehended in another State and in
taking all measures to initiate proceedings for the return of such
juveniles.
