Description
This writ concerns a juvenile court proceeding. At issue before us is whether the juvenile court should have rejected the plan for reunification of three minor children with their mother and commenced involuntary termination of parental rights. Pivotal to this inquiry is our determination of whether the juvenile court correctly concluded that the State proved that the mother has shown a reasonable expectation of her reformation exists in the foreseeable future sufficient to justify family reunification. The three minor children objected to this ruling and urged that in view of the law and evidence, involuntary termination of the mothers parental rights should commence so the children can be adopted. The Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, finding that the State presented sufficient evidence of the mothers reformation, affirmed the juvenile courts judgment that the Permanency Placement Plan for the three minor children is reunification with their mother. State of Louisiana In the Interest of S.M., 97-CA-1896 (La. App. 4 Cir. 3/4/98), 709 So.2d 927. We granted this writ application on behalf of the three minor children to review the correctness vel non of the lower courts and to expound upon our earlier statements in State in Interest of L.L.Z. v. M.Y.S., 620 So.2d 1309 (La. 1993). State in the Interest of S.M., 98-CJ-0922 (La. 5/25/98), ___ So.2d ___. For the following reasons, we reverse, finding that there was not sufficient evidence to support the recommendation for the Permanency Placement Plan, and remand this matter to the juvenile court for an expedited hearing.
