Description

SCRUGGS, Retired Circuit Judge This is a termination of parental rights case. On February 17, 1984, separate petitions as to each of Mrs. Morgan's two minor children were filed by the Department of Pensions and Security (DPS). It was alleged that the children were dependent and that DPS should be granted their temporary custody. An evidentiary hearing was held on the petitions on that same day with the mother being present. The record does not reflect that she was then represented by counsel at that hearing. On February 17, 1984, the juvenile court determined that the children were dependent, and their temporary custody was granted to DPS. The case was judicially reviewed by the juvenile court on two separate occasions, on May 10, 1984, and November 21, 1984. In both instances, an order was entered that no change be made in the February 17, 1984, judgment, which was to remain in full force and effect, and that the case would be reviewed again by the juvenile court in about six months. The November 21, 1984, judgment also contained an order appointing counsel for the mother since DPS had declared at that hearing that it intended to seek permanent custody of the children. The record before us does not disclose that counsel was appointed for her at any time prior to the entry of the November 21, 1984, judgment. No question was raised at any time or in any manner in the juvenile court as to its failure to appoint counsel for the mother as to any of the 1984 hearings.
