Temporary
Custody/Standard
The appellate court reversed the trial court's judgment
vesting temporary custody of the child with a third party where
the court explicitly found that the child was not in immediate danger
from her surroundings. Although the trial court vacated the ex parte
order of temporary custody, it still chose to designate a third
party custodian until ''an appropriate court determines that [the
child] should be placed safely elsewhere.''
The appellate court, citing In re Juvenile Appeal
(83-CD), 189 Conn. 276, 455 A.2d 1313 (1983), held that where there
is no ''substantial showing . . . made at the temporary custody
hearing that . . . [a child] . . . would be in immediate physical
danger if [he or she] were returned to the [respondent's] home .
. . [i]t [is] error for the court to grant . . . temporary custody''
in one other than the child's parents."
Judgment was reversed.
