What is Martino's Law?
1.
1) A statute used in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania. States that for a couple to raise or adopt a foster child, they must first have a natural child of their own. Used to prevent mis care or child abuse in the county.
2) A slang word used to relate to unfit parents.
1) I heard those people in that blue house wanted to adopt, but they can't because Martino's Law won't let them.
2) I don't know about that couple at the end of the street. I think somebody better turn them in for violating Martino's Law.
