Sec. 17a-100. (Formerly Sec. 17-38). Ill treatment of children. Whenever it is
found that any child is not properly treated in any foster family or that any such foster
family is not a suitable one and is of such character as to jeopardize the welfare of any
child so placed therein, the Commissioner of Children and Families, upon being satisfied
of the ill treatment of the child or the unsuitableness of the foster family, shall remove
the child from such foster family and take such further action as is necessary to secure
the welfare of the child.

services commissioner with commissioner of human resources, effective January 1, 1979; P.A. 79-631 replaced human

No statutory provision for hearing prior to removal, and, therefore, case was not a "contested case" for purposes of
appellate rights under Uniform Administrative Procedure Act (Sec. 4-166 et seq). 68 CA 223.
