1Opinion of the Court
CADY, Justice.
In this appeal we must decide if the juvenile court may dismiss a child in need of assistance (CINA) action based on the finding that the services offered to the child provided no benefit and that the additional expenditure of public funds and resources would not benefit the child in the future. The guardian ad litem of the child claims the juvenile court utilized inappropriate criteria and abused its authority in dismissing the CIÑA case. We reverse and remand for further proceedings.
