§ 131D‑10.1. Purpose.
It is the policy of this State to strengthen and preserve the family as a unit. When a child requires care outside the family unit, it is the duty of the State to assure that the quality of substitute care is as close as possible to the care and nurturing that society expects of a family.
The purpose of this Article is to assign the authority to protect the health, safety and well‑being of children separated from or being cared for away from their families. (1983, c. 637, s. 2.)
