Supreme Court of Connecticut
In Re Egypt E. — McDonald, J., Dissenting
January 10, 2018327 Conn. 506
Summary
Justice McDonald dissented from the conclusion that the respondents' conduct established the statutory ground of parental commission or omission under § 17a-112 (j) (3) (C). The dissent reasoned that the majority improperly treated the respondents' post-removal failure to address the cause of another child's injuries as conduct harming Egypt independently of her removal and separation, effectively collapsing that ground with failure to rehabilitate. Justice McDonald would have reversed because the only alleged ground was not supported by the required proof.
