Syllabus

Because Appellant failed to challenge the part of the judgment granting legal custody of her son to a relative, that portion of the judgment is affirmed without discussion. Appellant also failed to object to a magistrate's decision which ordered a permanent planned living arraignment for her daughter. This part of the decision, therefore, is reviewed for plain error. Assuming that R.C. 2151.415 governs the agency's request for a permanent planned living arrangement, the trial court's failure to find that the daughter was in an independent living program was not an error that challenged the legitimacy of the judicial process. The error was also harmless, as the record indicates that the daughter had, in fact, completed an independent living program. Judgment affirmed. (Froelich, J., dissenting.)
