Description
Appellants, T.S. and K.S., the natural parents of K.T.S. and K.S, appeal the trial court's determination that K.T.S. was abused and K.S. was neglected and therefore the juvenile court had jurisdiction over both children. Appellants contend that without a finding that the parents were responsible for the abuse, the children could not be defined as abused or neglected under Utah Code Ann. § 78-3a-2 (Supp. 1995). At age four months, K.T.S. was diagnosed with a skull fracture, a clavicle fracture, and a previous fracture of the tibia, with no available explanation for the cause of the injuries. Both K.T.S. and his older sibling, K.S., were returned to the care of extended family members. At the adjudication hearing, the court found that four-month-old K.T.S. had suffered ""nonaccidental physical harm; however, the evidence is insufficient to show that any such abuse was at the hands of the parents."" The court also found that K.S. was a neglected child under Utah Code Ann. § 78-3a-2(16)(a) (Supp. 1995) in that she was at risk of abuse because another child in the same home had suffered abuse. After the dispositional hearing, the court ordered that K.T.S. be placed in the custody of the Division of Family Services for one month, while permitting the parents unsupervised visitation. After one month, K.T.S. was returned home. K.S. was returned home, and protective supervision was ordered for ninety days.
