In re Children of Alecia M.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the order of the district court determining that Mother's four children were in circumstances of jeopardy pursuant to Me. Rev. Stat. 22, 4035(2), holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the finding that the children were in jeopardy.
After a hearing, the district court determined that the children were in circumstances of jeopardy due to the neglect and infliction of serious injury upon one of the children. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding (1) the district court did not err in crediting the testimony of one of the expert witnesses of the Department of Health and Human Services over the testimony of Mother's competing expert witness; and (2) the court's findings were sufficient for the court to find that the children would be in circumstances of jeopardy if they were returned to Mother's care.
