BENNETT V. JEFFREYS
356 N.E.2d 277 (1976)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a custody dispute.
FACTS: Gina (M) gave birth to a daughter when she was 15. Under pressure from her mother,
M transferred the child to a former classmate of the child's grandmother. There was no
statutory surrender or abandonment. M was also fit to be a parent as she applied for custody
of her now eight-year-old daughter. M is 23 and will soon graduate from college and lives
with her family in a private home with quarters available for her and her daughter. The
current custodian, Mrs. Jeffreys is now separated from her husband, is employed as a
domestic, and on occasion has kept the child in a motel. She has indicated that she is
willing to give up custody once the child reached 12 years old. The trial court left custody
with Jeffreys. The appeals court reversed.
