In re A.B.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the court of appeals reversing the juvenile court's determination that Mother had neglected A.B. and award of custody to Aunt and Uncle, holding that Aunt and Uncle were not entitled to relief on any of their allegations of error.
Mother left A.B., her daughter, for nearly one year in the care of Aunt and Uncle. When Mother came to take A.B. back, Aunt and Uncle filed for custody, alleging that Mother had abused and neglected A.B. The juvenile court determined that A.B. had been neglected by Mother and awarded custody to Uncle and Aunt. The court of appeals reversed, concluding that the juvenile court had erred in its neglect determination. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the court of appeals (1) applied the appropriate standard of review; (2) did not err in reversing the neglect determination; and (3) did not err in declining to affirm on the alternative ground of abuse.
