Syllabus

The juvenile court committed plain and reversible error when it denied grandmother's motion for legal custody after relying on evidence of the child's medical issues when (1) the child's recent medical diagnosis had not been communicated to grandmother, (2) evidence of the child's medical issues was introduced through hearsay testimony, and (3) grandmother was denied a continuance and the opportunity to assemble evidence or witnesses to rebut, explain, or otherwise challenge the medical testimony.
