“a child who is receiving proper care pursuant to an arrangement initiated by the parent with a caregiver is not a dependent child * * *.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[j] ust because a child is safe, whether it be in a foster home or the grandparents' home, does not negate a finding the child is neglected because of the acts or omissions of the parents. * * * Similarly, we endorse the approach of In re Poth (June 30, 1982), Huron App. No. H-81-31, * * * in which the Sixth Appellate District, in a situation where the county assumed care of a child because the parents were not providing care, rejected an argument that the child could not be adjudged dependent as a matter of law when the child was receiving excellent foster care.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[t]he requirement that the trial court hold bifurcated hearings in cases such as this helps to direct the focus of the initial inquiry into whether a child is neglected or dependent (the allegations in this case) away from the custody issue.”
