5.-(1) While an assumption made by virtue of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of section 4 is in force with respect to a child, all rights and powers which the deceased parents would have if they were still living shall, in respect of the child, be vested in the Director in accordance with the assumption.
(2) While an assumption made by virtue of paragraph (b) of the said subsection (1) of section 4 is in force with respect to a child, all rights and powers of the person on whose account the assumption was required shall, in respect of the child, be vested in the Director in accordance with the assumption and subsection (3) of section 3 shall not in respect of the child apply in relation to the person on whose account the assumption was required.
(3) An assumption under section 4 shall not prevent the Director from allowing, either for a fixed period or until the Director otherwise determines, the care of the child to be taken over by, and the child to be under the control of, a parent, guardian, relative or friend in any case where it appears to the Director to be for the benefit of the child.
(4) Where an assumption under section 4 is in force in respect of a child and the child has ceased to be in the care of the Director, the Director shall have power to receive the child back into his care in any circumstances in which it appears to him that his intervention under this subsection is necessary in the interests of the welfare of the child.
(5) Where the Director receives a child into his care under subsection (4) of this section the provisions of this Law shall apply as if the child had been received into his care under section 3.
(6) An assumption made under section 4 shall not relieve any person from any liability to maintain or contribute to the maintenance of the child.
(7) An assumption under section 4 shall not authorize the Director to cause a child to be brought up in any religious creed other than that in which he would have been brought up but for the assumption.
(8) Any person who knowingly-
(a) assists or induces or persistently attempts to induce a child to whom this subsection applies to run away; or
(b) harbours or conceals a child to whom this subsection applies who has run away, or prevents him from returning to the place from which he has run away,
shall be liable to imprisonment not exceeding three months or to a fine not exceeding .150 or to both such imprisonment and fine.
This subsection applies to any child in the care of the Director under section 3 in whose case an assumption is in force under section 4, being a child for whom accommodation (whether in a Children’s Home, foster home or otherwise) is being provided by the Director in pursuance of Part III and references in this subsection to running away shall be construed as references to running away from a place where accommodation was or is being so provided.
