In re F.C.D., 244 N.C. App. 243 (2015)

Held: 
Affirmed
  • The RIL hearing was heard with the juvenile adjudicatory hearing regarding abuse and neglect. The respondent was not deprived of her right in the RIL hearing to represent herself or retain her own attorney when her court appointed attorney in the juvenile abuse and neglect action represented her on both matters.
  • Respondent mother allowed the child’s caretaker (an adult who lived in the household) to use cruel or grossly inappropriate devices or procedures to modify her son’s behavior. Allowing such use satisfies the definition of abuse at G.S. 7B-101(1)c. Respondent mother’s name was appropriately placed on the RIL.
