In re J.C., 235 N.C. App. 69 (2014)

 **Note, this caes was reversed on other grounds, In re J.C., 368 N.C. 89 (2015)

•  Dependency box on the order was inadvertently checked. When a clerical error on a trial court’s order is discovered on appeal, it should be remanded for correction and ensure the record “speaks the truth.”
