Matter of Christopher "O"

Deanna L. Siegel

Case Conclusion Date: January 26, 1995

Practice Area: Child Abuse

Outcome: Court sustained most of the lower Court's ruling

Description: The Court found that the determination that the father had abused 3 of his daughter's was sufficient to sustain a finding as to the fourth daughter. The Court did find that the proof was insufficient to sustain a finding of abuse in regard to his sons, but did support a finding of neglect relative to the boys. The Court remanded the case for further proceedings regarding the terms of the protective order on the boys.
