Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Tama County, Angie Johnston, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Tabor and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (10 pages)
A father appeals from the juvenile court order adjudicating his two children in need of assistance. He claims the State failed to prove the grounds for adjudication under Iowa Code section 232.2(6)(c)(2), (n), and (p) (2020). He also argues the juvenile court should have dismissed the adjudication order at a later proceeding. OPINION HOLDS: Because the record contains clear and convincing evidence supporting all three grounds of adjudication, we affirm the juvenile court’s ruling. We also affirm the court’s dispositional order.
