The juvenile rourt is a civil court, with its purpose to preset the interest of children and to try to determine what the child needs in training, correction, discipline, help, guidance and support. Judge Keller said tha', in his opmion, taking children out of their homes and placing them in foster homes or institutions is often not the real answer to the problem.
