Description:
This abuse and neglect proceeding commenced on March 3, 2021, when the petitioners filed a petition against A.C. and A.S., the respondent father,[3] alleging that they abused, neglected, and/or abandoned I.S. According to the petitioners, A.C. and I.S. began living with them in June 2019, after A.C. and A.S., got into a fight during which A.S. tried to "choke" A.C. and take I.S away from her. Although there is no biological or family relationship between the petitioners and I.S., the petitioners maintain that they became I.S.'s primary caretakers because A.C. frequently left their home and did not return until several days later. The petitioners state that A.C. stopped residing with them on August 19, 2019, and took I.S. with her. After not seeing I.S. for a few weeks, J.S.-1 filed an emergency petition for guardianship in the Family Court of Wood County.
