Also finds that while the mother could have waived her right to due process prior to deprivation of her liberty, the record before us does not demonstrate she knowingly waived her rights. Judge Nathan Nikirk, and Juvenile Referee Anah Gouty presided in the case. Attorney for appellant: Daniel Dixon.
