  9. In re K. D.

    A17A1551 (Ga. Ct. App. Feb. 1, 2018)

    Because we determine that DFCS did not present evidence that the June 1 incident occurred in the children's presence, there was insufficient evidence to support a finding that the children had been abused. See In re H. S., 285 Ga. App. 839, 842 (648 SE2d 143) (2007) (evidence insufficient where state presented no evidence that child witnessed domestic abuse between parents). We therefore reverse the juvenile court's finding of dependency as to the father.

    Holding the State failed to meet its burden of showing child was dependent when, inter alia, evidence established that the mother had ceased using methamphetamine, she intended to continue her disuse, she had taken all the steps asked of her by [DFCS] in order to show that she no longer used the substance, and there was no evidence of long-term drug use

    See OCGA ยง 15-11-180 ("The petitioner shall have the burden of proving the allegations of a dependency petition by clear and convincing evidence."). See In the Interest of H. B., 324 Ga.App. at 37-39 (1), 749 S.E.2d 38, citing In the Interest of S. M., 321 Ga.App. 827, 832, 743 S.E.2d 497 (2013) ; In the Interest of H.
