Mark Bailey County of Origin: Floyd Category: Juvenile Decision: Affirmed Judge Bradford and Judge Foley concur In December 2020, the Indiana Department of Child Services (“DCS”) received a report alleging educational neglect of Children and substance use by Mother. At that time, Mother had sole legal custody of Children but she and Father shared physical custody of Children; each week, Children lived with Mother for three days and then went to Father’s home for three days. DCS initially petitioned to adjudicate Children as Children in Need of Services (“CHINS”) but amended it to become an informal adjustment instead.
