Idaho Dept. of Health & Welfare v. Jane Doe (2014-17)
Annotate this Case"Mother" Jane Doe appealed a magistrate court’s judgment that terminated her parental rights to three of her children. The magistrate court concluded that the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (“IDHW”) proved by clear and convincing evidence that Mother and father John Doe neglected their children and that terminating parental rights was in the children’s best interests. Mother argued on appeal that IDHW did not show clear and convincing evidence, the court failed to properly consider her disability, and IDHW did not make reasonable efforts to help her comply with her case plan. Finding no reversible error, the Supreme Court affirmed the magistrate court’s judgment terminating Mother’s parental rights.
