Daniel Weaver, Albany CPS and Family Court Examiner

A New York state appellate court has reversed a decision by St. Lawrence County Family Court Judge, Barbara Potter, that terminated the parental rights of a mother and father because of their mental illness. The appellate court ruled separately on the parents' appeals but came to the same conclusion.

Both parents had been found negligent in the past for letting their children get out of the yard and wander nearby without supervision. According to the appellate court's decision on the father's appeal, "After respondent and the mother apparently admitted that they had permanently neglected the children, a finding of permanent neglect was entered against them and a judgment to that effect was entered but suspended for one year" FULL STORY

Once again, it was about psychiatrist crap.
