Juvenile. Reverses adjudication L.C. is a child in need of services. Remands for a new fact-finding hearing. The procedure employed by the juvenile court with respect to father’s fact-finding hearing has been expressly rejected by the Indiana Supreme Court. Because father challenged the allegations in the CHINS petition, due process requires the completion of a fact-finding hearing, including the presentation of evidence and argument by both parents, before L.C. is adjudicated a CHINS. Judge Bradford dissents with opinion.
