Court of Appeals of Georgia

Strayhorn v. Forsyth County Department of Family & Children Services

174 S.E.2d 216, 121 Ga. App. 444, 1970 Ga. App. LEXIS 1246

Court of Appeals of Georgia·Decided March 5, 1970·No. 45078·Published

Opinion

Deen, Judge.

The juvenile court judge, after hearing evidence on a petition brought by a state agency against the parents of four minor children, made a finding that the children were neglected, ordered that temporary custody be awarded to the agency, that three of the children remain in the parental home-under agency supervision and the fourth be placed with the agency until further order of court during which time the agency was to obtain a psychological and medical evaluation of the minor. Permanent custody is not involved. The case is therefore still pending for further decision in the juvenile court and, absent a certificate of immediate review (Code Ann. § 6-701), the appeal is premature. Cf. Hammock v. Hammock, 225 Ga. 698 (171 SE2d 314).

Appeal dismissed.

Hall, P. J., and Evans, J., concur.
