(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; and
(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.

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.
