In Re Kerr

BROSKY, Judge:

This appeal is from an adjudication of dependency of two children. Appellant, the natural mother of the two minors, contends that the juvenile court was without jurisdiction over this case when it failed to hold the adjudicatory hearing within the statutorily prescribed period. 1 We hold that the consequence of a tardy hearing is the automatic activation of the right of the child and its parents to the immediate release of the child from the state’s custody; it is not, as appellant argues, the loss of the court’s jurisdiction over the case. Order affirmed.
