Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Erik I. Howe, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Greer, P.J., and Ahlers and Badding, JJ.  Opinion by Greer, P.J.  (7 pages)

            The mother of one-year-old M.N. appeals from the dispositional order in the child-in-need-of-assistance proceedings, challenging the juvenile court’s decision the child could not yet be returned to her custody.  OPINION HOLDS: Because M.N. would face further adjudicatory harm if returned to the mother’s custody at this time, we affirm the juvenile court’s dispositional order.
