§ 29.21 Care of children born to patients.

If a child is born to a patient in a department facility, the director
shall determine, with suitable social service advice, whether the mother
is able to care for the child. If, in his opinion, she is unable to do
so, he shall make provision for such child in accordance with article

court, the director may, in his discretion, make a temporary placement
of the child.
