In the INTEREST OF J.F., a child State of North Dakota, Petitioner and Appellee v. J.F., a child, Respondent J.F., mother, Respondent and Appellant
In the Interest of J.F., a child State of North Dakota, Petitioner and Appellee v. J.F., a child; D.M., father, Respondents J.F., mother, Respondent and Appellant
[¶1] J.F. appeals from a juvenile court order finding her two children, ages 2 and 5, to be deprived. On appeal, J.F. argues the juvenile court erred by finding the children to be deprived, because the physical domestic violence and any drug issues are now under control, she is living with her parents, and there is no evidence she used drugs around the children. The district court properly considered evidence of J.F.’s limited compliance with drug testing along with a positive hair follicle test on one of the children showing a level of methamphetamines similar to that of a regular user. We conclude the juvenile court's findings are not clearly erroneous. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
Per Curiam.
