(720 ILCS 150/3) (from Ch. 23, par. 2353)
Sec. 3.
When upon examination before any court it appears that any child within
the age previously mentioned in this Act was engaged or used for or in any
business, exhibition, vocation, or purpose prohibited in this Act; and when
upon the conviction of any person of a criminal assault upon a child in his
custody, the court before whom such conviction is had, shall deem it
desirable for the welfare of such child, that the person so convicted
should be deprived of its custody; thereafter such child shall be deemed to
be in the custody of court, and such court may in its discretion, make such
order as to the custody thereof as now is, or hereafter may be, provided by
law in cases of vagrant, truant, disorderly, pauper, or destitute children.
