Juvenile termination of parental rights. Reverses and remands the Wells Circuit Court’s termination of M.H. and R.H.’s parental rights to their seven children. Finds the trial court’s requirement that M.H. admit to sexually abusing stepdaughter R.W. as part of sex offender treatment violated his Fifth Amendment rights. Remands for reinstatement of the CHINS cases, a re-examination of the requirements for reunification and a revised dispositional order outlining the services consistent with the holdings in the opinion that M.H. and R.H. must complete to reunify with the children. Judge Margret Robb dissents with separate opinion.
