In re Aisjaha N.

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 claim could not be reviewed because the record did not establish how she participated in the virtual trial, and any challenge to her audio-only testimony was waived. The court also declined to adopt a supervisory rule requiring two-way video participation or an express waiver before virtual child-protection trials. The opinion additionally emphasized that courts must address technological barriers and preserve meaningful and equal access to virtual proceedings.
