Any person or corporation who shall place-out a destitute child shall keep and preserve a record of the full name and actual or apparent age of such child, the names and residence of its parents, so far as known, and the name and residence of the person or persons with whom such child is placed. If such person or corporation shall subsequently remove such child from the custody of the person or persons with whom it was placed, the fact of such removal and the disposition made of such child shall be entered upon such record. § 5. The state board of charities, through any member, officer or duly authorized inspector of said board, is hereby authorized to visit, in its discretion, any child under the age of sixteen years, not legally adopted, placed-out by any person or corporation mentioned in the second section of this act, or by any person licensed by said board to place-out destitute children. $6. In every case where practicable any child placed-out shall be placed with individuals of like religious faith as the parents of the child. § 7. Whenever the state board of charities shall decide by the affirmative vote of a majority of its members that any person or corporation has placed-out children for purposes of gain, or without due inquiry as to the character and reputation of the persons with whom such children are placed, and with the result that such children are subjected to cruel or improper treatment or neglect or immoral surroundings, the said board may issue an order prohibiting such person or corporation from thereafter placing out children. No such order shall be issued unless such person or corporation has had reasonable notice, with a copy of the charge, and an opportunity to be heard before said board, and a full record of the proceedings and decision on such hearings shall be kept by said board. Any such order issued by said board may be revoked by said board. § 8.

Any person or corporation who shall willfully violate any of the provisions of this act or shall place-out a child in vio lation of an order issued under the provisions of section seven of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than fifty and of not more than two hundred and fifty dollars. 10. This act shall take effect on the first day of June, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight.
