WAITES v. STATE

52038.

138 Ga. App. 513 (1976)

226 S.E.2d 621

WAITES v. THE STATE.

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

Decided April 29, 1976.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Saul, Blount & Avrett, Percy J. Blount, for appellant.

J. Edward Slaton, Solicitor, for appellee.


WEBB, Judge.

Waites contends, however, that under the provisions of that Code section a father cannot abandon his child prior to its birth, and we reluctantly agree.
