Syllabus

CHILDREN—CUSTODY—EVIDENCE/WITNESS/TRIAL: The juvenile court's reliance on the unsworn testimony of a medical expert in a temporary-custody proceeding did not rise to the level of plain error, where nothing in the record supports a conclusion that the expert's testimony would have been different had it been presented under oath. The juvenile court did not err by dismissing a complaint for temporary custody, because the record supports the juvenile court's finding that the agency had failed to prove the abuse, neglect, and dependent allegations by clear-and-convincing evidence.
