Syllabus

The respondent mother, Briana Hebert, appealed from a decree of the Family Court finding that she abused and neglected her daughter, Adrina T. On appeal, Ms. Hebert contended that the Family Court justice erred in making her findings because she allegedly: (1) overlooked and misconceived the evidence (2) erroneously relied on two opinions of this Court and (3) ignored evidence contradicting her findings because she did not find Ms. Hebert credible. The Supreme Court held that the Family Court justice erred because her findings of fact were not supported by sufficient legally competent evidence in the record. Accordingly, the Court vacated the decree of the Family Court as it pertains to Briana Hebert.
