The First District affirmed a juvenile delinquency adjudication for felonious assault, holding that FaceTime-based identification combined with social media confirmation was sufficient and that DYS commitment was appropriate for a first-time offender who fired a gun at a victim.
The Third District affirmed the grant of permanent custody to a county agency, finding that both parents were unsuitable where the father, who was 50 when he began a sexual relationship with the 16-year-old mother, had a history of domestic violence and the mother remained unable to provide stable care.
The Eleventh District affirmed the dismissal of abuse, neglect, and dependency allegations against prospective adoptive parents of an infant with multiple serious medical conditions, holding that the trial court properly excluded an expert witness for failure to comply with Civ.R. 26(B)(7)(c) and that the dismissal was supported by the manifest weight of the evidence.
