Supreme Court of Connecticut

In re Aisjaha N.

June 20, 2022343 Conn. 709

Summary

The court affirmed the order vesting permanent legal guardianship of the child in her maternal grandmother. It held that the mother's unpreserved due process challenge could not be reviewed because the record did not establish how she participated in the virtual trial, and any objection to her audio-only testimony was waived. The court also declined to require trial courts to obtain an express waiver of two-way video participation before virtual child-protection proceedings, although it emphasized courts' obligations to address technology and access problems.
