In re A.J.
Citations
- 2025 Ohio 1550
Syllabus
Plain error; abused and dependent child; multiple sexual abuse exams; legal custody; case-plan requirements; mental-health assessment; parenting classes; visitation restrictions; best interests of the child; removal of child; reasonable efforts to prevent removal/reunify; incomplete investigation; sexual abuse allegations; failure to reappoint counsel; medical abuse. The trial court did not err in adjudicating the child as abused and dependent and granting legal custody to Father. Mother was represented by counsel after the case was remanded to the trial court. Mother failed to object to the magistrate's decision finding the child abused and dependent and did not argue plain error. The trial court properly found that granting custody to Father was in the child's best interest.
