IN RE SMITH

No. 90-OT-038.

77 Ohio App.3d 1 (1991)

In re SMITH et al.

Court of Appeals of Ohio, Ottawa County.

Decided August 30, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas G. Zraik, for appellants.

Ernest E. Cottrell, Jr., guardian ad litem.

Lowell S. Petersen, Prosecuting Attorney, Barbara Peterson and Patricia J. Clark, for appellees.


SHERCK, Judge.

This is an appeal from an order of the Ottawa County Court of Common Pleas, Juvenile Division, granting permanent custody of four of appellants' children to the Lucas County Children Services Board. Because we find the trial court improperly accepted the parents' admission that their children were neglected and dependent and because appellants were prejudiced by the children's denial of proper counsel, we reverse.
