JUVENILE PROCEEDINGS -- Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding termination of parent and child relationships.

JUVENILE PROCEEDINGS

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Under Title 16, Chapter 20, this would add to the list, circumstances upon which a parent’s rights can be terminated. Currently the court may grant an order terminating the relationship of the parent and child and may rebuttably presume that such termination of parental rights is in the best interests of the child. Currently language only includes in subsection (2) (b) (ii) “Sexual abuse against a child of the parent.” This would add language to include sexual abuse against any child as defined in current code, any conduct described in section 18-1506, 18-1506A, 18-1507, 18-1508, 18-1508A, 18-6101, or 18-6604, Idaho Code.
