The real or apparent inconsistencies of statutes, traditions, and practices are examined as they contrast with the prevalent pediatric attitudes concerning the importance of the best interests of the individual child. The report also considers guardianship, adoption, delinquency, and litigation involving foods, drugs, injuries, or actions, as these pertain to children.
