Indiana Court of Appeals
In the Matter of J.J. and Jer.J. (Minor Children), Children in Need of Services, and M.J. (Mother) v. Indiana Department of Child Services and Kids’ Voice of Indiana
24A-JC-1676
Juvenile CHINS. Affirms Marion Superior Court’s adjudication of M.J.’s two youngest sons as children in need of services. Finds the trial court determined the children are CHINS because the mother “needs assistance managing her living conditions and [Jer.J.’s] health condition and requires the coercive intervention of the court to ensure she gets the services she needs.” Also finds Indiana Department of Child Services presented ample evidence to support that determination, and the judgment is not clearly erroneous. Attorney for appellant: Daniel Foote. Attorneys for appellee: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Deputy Attorney General Katherine Cornelius.
