Idaho Supreme Court
In the Matter of the Termination of the Parental Rights of Jane (2013-15) DOE. Idaho Department of Health & Welfare…

Summary
The Idaho Supreme Court affirmed termination of Jane Doe's parental rights to five children based on neglect and the children's best interests. It held that the unappealed aggravated-circumstances determination remained reviewable because it was an interlocutory order encompassed by the timely appeal from the termination judgment, but found no reversible error. The court also rejected or declined to consider Doe's due-process and equal-protection claims because they were unsupported by cogent legal argument.
