Platson v. NSM, America, Inc

In Platson v. NSM, America, Inc., 322 Ill. App. 3d 138, 748 N.E.2d 1278, 255 Ill. Dec. 208 (2001), given the lack of Illinois case law on what a voluntary custodian-protectee relationship consisted of, the court cited an Ohio case where the court had observed that "to assume custody of a child is to stand 'in loco parentis to the child, accepting all the rights and responsibilities that go with that status.'" Platson, 322 Ill. App. 3d at 147 quoting Slagle v. White Castle Systems, Inc., 79 Ohio App. 3d 210, 217, 607 N.E.2d 45, 49 (1992).
