In the Interest of T. S.
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
Barnes, Presiding Judge.
The mother of T. S. appeals a juvenile court order finding T. S. deprived, arguing, among other things, that her due process right to confrontation was violated because she was excluded from the courtroom while T. S. testified and could not assist her counsel in developing questions to ask T. S. on cross-examination. Because the juvenile court erred in dismissing the mother from the courtroom without an evidentiary finding of necessity and without providing her with the means to listen to the testimony and assist her lawyer, we must reverse and remand for a new hearing.
