JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Editor's notes.

- In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, decisions under pre-2000 Code Section 15-11-4, which was subsequently repealed but was succeeded by provisions in this Code section, are included in the annotations for this Code section. See the Editor's notes at the beginning of the chapter.

Commitment to Department of Juvenile Justice proper.

- Contrary to the defendant's contention, the defendant's commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) pursuant to former O.C.G.A. § 15-11-66(a)(4) (see now O.C.G.A. § 15-11-601) was authorized as the defendant was on probation for a delinquent act and violated the terms of probation which was also a delinquent act and commitment to DJJ was found to be the treatment or rehabilitation best suited to the child's needs. In the Interest of B. Q. L. E., 297 Ga. App. 273, 676 S.E.2d 742 (2009), cert. denied, No. S09C1197, 2009 Ga. LEXIS 787 (Ga. 2009) (decided under former O.C.G.A. § 15-11-4).

...Helsinger admitted that she had struck the child and left bruises even though a safety plan (based on prior allegations of physical abuse) was in effect that prohibited physical discipline. On the same day, the court appointed a “Guardian Ad Litem/CASA [Court Appointed Special Advocate]” for the child pursuant to OCGA § 15-11-9, and the guardian attended the 72-hour hearing on August 11....
...The court shall appoint a guardian ad litem for an infant or incompetent person not otherwise represented in an action or shall make such other order as it deems proper for the protection of the infant or incompetent person. . . . More specifically with regard to deprivation proceedings, OCGA § 15-11-9 (b) provides: The court at any stage of a proceeding under this article, on application of a party or on its own motion, shall appoint a guardian ad litem for a child who is a party to the proceeding if the child has no parent, guardian,...
...ings are handled. In addition, it simply is not true that guardians in deprivation actions will never be subject to review. If it is believed that the guardian is acting improperly, a motion can be made for that guardian’s removal. See, e.g., OCGA § 15-11-9.1 (j)....
