Editor's Note
The preamble to 1978 Act No. 398 provides:
"Whereas, throughout the history of the United States the family unit, along with the church and schools, has been the most important institution in the development of the strength and prosperity of the nation; and
"Whereas, it seems that the American family's influence on the national scene is lessening because of a deterioration of the cohesiveness of the family induced by many undermining forces on the national society; and
"Whereas, the waning of the influence of the American family has resulted in the weakening of the moral and spiritual fiber of the American people, bringing about an increase in crime, including child abuse, alcohol abuse and drug abuse and other crippling problems, to the extent that even the economy of the nation has suffered; and
"Whereas, the General Assembly believes strongly in the importance of the family and recognizes it as a vital structure for the rebuilding of a strong and wholesome society. Now, therefore,
"Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:"
