In re Christopher H.
Appellant Helen W. challenges the juvenile courts orders taking jurisdiction over her 15 year old son Christopher H., removing him from parental custody and placing him in foster care. She claims, among other things, that she was denied due process when the court held the jurisdictional hearing in her absence after continuing it for the appointment of counsel and proceeding without appointing counsel to represent her. Court conclude that the juvenile court erred in proceeding with the jurisdictional hearing under the circumstances and remand the matter for a new jurisdictional hearing.
