How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- noting that when the trial court has found a minor neglected on more than one ground, a court of review may affirm if there is sufficient evidence in the record to support any one of the bases of neglect
- noting the State need only prove one ground for neglect and thus this court may affirm if any of the circuit court’s bases for a neglect finding are upheld
- noting the State need only prove one ground for neglect and thus this court may affirm if any of the circuit court’s bases for a neglect finding are upheld
- “[T]he lynchpin of our determination that permanency orders are not final and appealable is the fact that they are only temporary and subject to modification.”
- “Because of our conclusion regarding neglect based on injurious environment, we need not review the circuit court’s additional finding that the minors were abused or neglected based on physical abuse.”
- “Only a single ground for neglect need be proven, and thus when the circuit court has found a minor neglected on several grounds, we may affirm if any of the circuit court’s bases of neglect may be upheld.”
