In the Interest of S. C. S.

There was clear and convincing evidence that the two children were dependent, and the juvenile court did not err in awarding custody of the children to the Department of Family and Children Services.

In these companion cases, the mother of S. C. S. and A. W. appeals from orders of the Juvenile Court of Murray County finding each of the mother’s children to be dependent and awarding custody of those children to the Murray County Department of Family and Children Services DFACS or the Department. In case number A15A2226, the mother asserts that in finding S. C. S. to be dependent, the juvenile court misstated or mischaracterized the relevant evidence. The mother further contends that a review of the evidence actually presented shows that the State failed to meet its burden of proving S. C. S.’s dependency by clear and convincing evidence. Finally, the mother argues that the State failed to prove that she was an unfit parent such that removal of S. C. S. from her custody was warranted.

In case number A15A2227, the mother argues that the State failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence either that A. W. was a dependent child or that removal of A. W. from the mother’s custody was warranted. The mother also contends that the juvenile court erred when it found that the State had made reasonable efforts to prevent A. W.’s removal from the mother’s custody.
