Testimony at the adjudication hearing addressed three areas of concern: adequacy of living conditions, safety of the children, and health of the children. *Page 8 {¶ 18} Denise Hall, the

2009“Once a juvenile validly waives counsel during the adjudication hearing,” which is governed by Juv.R. 29(B), “he does not lose the right to request counsel for the disposition hearing, which is governed by Juv.R. 34.” Id. {¶46} When considering a situation where a juvenile court had not obtained a valid waiver of counsel at the adjudicatory stage of a hearing, the Twelfth District Court of Appeals has held that “even had appellant validly waived his right to counsel during the adjudicatory hearing, the trial court was still required to advise appellant of his right to counsel and determine whe

2007"Once a juvenile validly waives counsel during the adjudication hearing," which is governed by Juv.R. *Page 7 29(B), "he does not lose the right to request counsel for the disposition hearing, which is governed by Juv.R. 34." Id. {¶ 24} Here, even had appellant validly waived his right to counsel during the adjudicatory hearing, the trial court was still required to advise appellant of his right to counsel and determine whether he wished to waive his right to counsel during the disposition hearing.

2008The State contends that no error occurred, given that A.D. stipulated to the contents of Dr. Kimball's report. {¶ 19} This court has previously held that when "the issue of competency is properly raised before trial, the trial court must hold a hearing on that issue and after considering the evidence presented by the parties at that hearing make a finding as to the defendant's competency." In re Bailey , 150 Ohio App. 3d 664 , 2002-Ohio-6792 , ¶ 14 . *Page 6 However, we have also noted that a stipulation to competency may obviate the need for a hearing.

2006The state argues that the trial court’s error was harmless because Dr. Gibeau determined that B.M.S. was competent to stand trial as a juvenile. {¶ 8} In the case of In re Bailey, 150 Ohio App.3d 664 , 2002-Ohio-6792 , 782 N.E.2d 1177 , we held that the juvenile court’s failure to make a determination as to a juvenile offender’s claim of incompetency violated R.C. 2945.37 and the juvenile’s right to due process of law.

2025When applying the manifest-weight standard, “[o]nly in exceptional cases, where the evidence ‘weighs heavily against the conviction,’ should an appellate court overturn the trial court’s judgment.” State v. Haller, 2012-Ohio-5233, ¶ 9 (3d Dist.), quoting State v. Hunter, 2011-Ohio-6524, ¶ 119 . -9- Case No. 11-25-06 Evidence Presented by the Defense {¶23} K.S.’s father testified in his defense at the adjudication hearing.

2024As part of his closing argument, Father's attorney cited this court's precedent in In re A.V., 2021-Ohio-3873 (12th Dist.).

2024Therefore, while the testimony presented at the adjudication hearing was sufficient for the magistrate and court to conclude that Father acted in a violent manner toward Mother and two of his children on the evening at issue, the videos proffered by Father after the hearing were consistent with this conclusion and do not require us to reverse the dependency adjudication. {¶ 41} Father argues that the finding of dependency in this case conflicts with the rationale set forth in A.V., 2021-Ohio-3873 .
