In the Interest of C.c., Children

Summary

The Court held that the appeal was not moot because the agency’s unilateral policy memorandum did not prevent recurrence of the challenged conduct, and a child was vaccinated shortly after the policy was adopted. It vacated the juvenile court’s order because that court applied an incorrect standard in assessing whether the parents’ objections to vaccination were sincerely religious. The Court remanded for a proper sincerity determination before any merits ruling on the statutory and constitutional claims.
