2026In re D.D., 2024-Ohio-5858, at ¶ 25 (12th Dist.). {¶ 29} Given the record in this case, the juvenile court's decision to grant WCCS's motion for permanent custody was proper and without error: it places S.F.'s best interests at the forefront of these proceedings rather than focusing on what Grandmother wants or what Grandmother herself believes is in S.F.'s best interest.

1 sentence

2025The juvenile court found this background was important for the reader to know given the court's own initial confusion of the facts in the absence of a basic understanding of "the children services history this family has." Therefore, rather than being offered in evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted, the evidence for which Grandfather now complains was being offered as necessary background information to provide proper context in which the juvenile court could base its decision on WCCS' motion for permanent custody. {¶ 32} "Statements are not hearsay if they are not [being] offere
