In re Richard F. CA4/3
This case represents, up to a point, a juvenile dependency proceeding with a happy ending. After being detained at age 11, Richard F. was placed with his father’s sister, H.N., because his parents could not take care of him. His aunt became his legal guardian.
Richard is here now at 18 years old, not with a tale of abuse and neglect, but rather because the guardianship was so successful. He is an honor student with ambitions to be a physician. As with so many families, however, money is tight, and his guardian cannot afford to pay Richard’s college expenses.
