Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Appanoose County, Richelle Mahaffey, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Chicchelly and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, C.J. (7 pages)
A mother challenges the removal of her infant son, his adjudication as a child in need of assistance, and the juvenile court’s dispositional order continuing his placement outside her home. OPINION HOLDS: The mother’s claims about the initial removal are moot. As for the adjudication and disposition, clear and convincing evidence in the record supports the juvenile court’s findings. So we affirm.
