In the Interest of J.S., Minor Child, E.S., Mother, Appellant.
Even though the mother failed to follow the juvenile court's orders concerning obtaining custody of the child, the CINA proceedings were dismissed shortly after the decree was entered. The Department's case worker and the child's guardian ad litem (GAL) both signed off on placement of the child with the father because the father was the parent following the case plan at that time, making sure the child got to medical, dental, and therapy appointments. The child told the court she believed her younger siblings were safe because they spent most of their time with their father, but she did not know if her older sibling was safe.
