In re K.M.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals

Decided September 12, 2013No. 11-FS-1234PublishedCited by 21 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

McLEESE, Associate Judge:

After an evidentiary hearing, a magistrate judge found that K.M., who was twelve years old at the time, was a neglected child. More specifically, the magistrate judge found that KM.’s mother, appellant L.M., suffers from a delusional disorder of persecutory type, and that this mental illness has harmed KM.’s mental and emotional health. The finding of neglect was affirmed by the reviewing judge. On appeal to this court, L.M. argues that the evidence does not support the determination that K.M. is a neglected child. We agree with L.M. and therefore reverse.
