Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Floyd County, Karen Kaufman Salic, District Associate Judge. REVERSED IN PART AND REMANDED. Considered by Vogel, C.J., and Mullins and Bower, JJ. Opinion by Bower, J. (7 pages)
A mother and the father of one of her children appeal the juvenile court's removal order in a child-in-need-of-assistance proceeding. OPINION HOLDS: We find there is not clear and convincing evidence supporting removal of the children. We reverse the district court’s removal of all the children from the mother’s custody, and removal of the youngest child from her father’s custody.
