Sec. 70.
Construction of Act.
Nothing in this Act shall be
construed to preclude the courts of this State from exercising their
discretion to protect the health
and safety of children in individual cases. The best interests and
welfare of a child shall be a paramount consideration in the
construction and interpretation of this Act. It is in the child's best
interests that this Act be construed and interpreted so as not to
result in extending time limits beyond those set forth in this Act.
