The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the governing law. Judges Silberman, LaRose, and Guard concurred.
Key Takeaways

Why It Matters
The decision ends this appeal with an affirmance, but its lack of factual or legal analysis limits its usefulness to attorneys seeking guidance in other dependency cases.
