Indiana Court of Appeals
In the Matter of G.V. and A.V., Children in Need of Services, and M.V., (Mother) v. Indiana Department of Child Services, et al.
No. 25A-JC-1223

Juvenile. Appeal from the Marion Superior Court, Judge Geoffrey A. Gaither. Affirms the trial court’s determination that G.V. is a Child in Need of Services (CHINS) and the dispositional decree continuing her removal from Mother’s care. The court found sufficient evidence that G.V. was seriously endangered, given Mother’s conduct, including physical discipline of A.V. and inconsistent explanations for G.V.’s injuries. It also concluded that coercive intervention was necessary to ensure G.V.’s safety as Mother had not shown cooperation with required interventions. Judge DeBoer authored the opinion. Judges Bradford and Weissmann concur. Appellant’s attorneys: Talisha Griffin, Marion County Public Defender Agency, Indianapolis, Indiana; Suzy St. John, Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law Appellate Clinic, Indianapolis, Indiana; Sarah Y. Faulkner, Certified Legal Intern, Indianapolis, Indiana. Appellee’s attorneys: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.
