In Re Appeal In Juvenile Action No. J-64016

On August 8, 1979, DES filed a petition in juvenile court alleging the minor child was dependent in that he was in need of effective parental care and control which his mother was unable to provide because of extreme emotional problems affecting her ability to provide care and supervision for the child. DES requested the court to grant temporary custody to it pending a hearing on the matter. The notice served on the mother advised her that a dependency petition had been filed, that a hearing on the petition and on temporary custody was set for September 5, 1979, that the court had ordered the child committed to the care, custody and control of DES pending the hearing, that she might appear at the hearing and be represented by counsel and that counsel would be appointed upon a showing of lack of financial ability to retain her own counsel.
