Rodenbiker v. L.T.

SANDSTROM, Justice.

[¶ 1] B.T., the father of L.T., appeals the juvenile court’s order adopting the judicial referee’s findings of fact and order committing L.T. to the care of the Division of Juvenile Services following his admissions to gross sexual imposition and ingestion of a controlled substance.
