Syllabus

Neglected child, temporary agency custody, magistrate's decisions, transcript, Juv.R. 40(D)(3)(b)(iii), Loc.Juv.R. 36, hearsay, adjudication, disposition, manifest weight of the evidence. Mother appeals adjudication of child as neglected and disposition of temporary agency custody. Trial court did not abuse its discretion in adopting magistrate's decisions where Mother did not file hearing transcripts with the juvenile court, as Juv.R. 40(D)(3)(b)(iii) requires. Trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying Mother's motion to file a witness list and exhibit list instanter where she waited until 5 days before trial to do so, violating Loc.Juv.R. 36. Without a transcript, we cannot review Mother's claim that A.G.'s school records were hearsay. Manifest weight of the evidence supported adjudication and disposition where the guardian ad litem (\GAL\) report stated that A.G. has significant unexplained school absences and that Mother was not cooperating with Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services (\CCDCFS\).
