CINA: Neglect: Incarcerated parent

CSA No. 2607, Sept. Term 2013. Unreported.

Opinion by Kehoe, J. Filed Aug. 11, 2014.

Appeal from Baltimore City. Affirmed.

RecordFax #14-0811-00, 7 pages.

In order to declare a 3-year-old child a CINA, it was enough that the mother was incarcerated following the death of another child and that the 3-year-old’s father could not be located; the court did not also need to find the mother had abused the 3-year-old or determine the actual cause of death of the infant, who died in her mother’s bed after the mother went to sleep intoxicated.
