Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Brent Pattison, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Greer and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (5 pages)
The mother appeals the juvenile court’s order adjudicating her child as a child in need of assistance, arguing it is misplaced as the involvement with the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services only related to an abuse incident involving the mother assaulting an older sibling. OPINION HOLDS: The evidence supported the finding that the child suffered harmful effects from watching the assault on his older sibling and the continuing conflict that flared up between the child and the mother. We affirm.
