In re Dimitri M.
A mother appeals from dispositional orders removing her two sons, Dimitri and T., from her custody. The orders placed Dimitri with his noncustodial, nonoffending father in the state of Alabama, and terminated jurisdiction over Dimitri. T., whose father is unknown, was sent on an extended visit to Alabama in the home of Dimitris father. We affirm the orders with respect to Dimitri, but reverse the orders as to T. because they violate the Interstate Compact on Placement of Children and interfere with the mothers right to attempt reunification with T.
The courts dispositional orders are reversed to the extent they ordered T. on an extended visit with Darius without compliance with the ICPC and without consideration of the mothers right to attempt reunification. In all other respects, the orders are affirmed.
