Supreme Court of Connecticut
In re Santiago G.
September 1, 2015
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of the biological mother's motion to revoke the child's commitment and the commissioner's motion to open the neglect judgment. It held that the factual grounds supporting the child's removal and neglect adjudication actually existed, including the child's abandonment and lack of a legal guardian, so the trial court properly applied the statutory best-interests standard. The court also concluded that the asserted mistake did not warrant reopening the prior judgment.
