The mother appears by Zoom and testifies about housing, transportation, communication with CPS, drug-use allegations, and her request for more visitation. The father appears from jail, while attorneys for the department, father, mother, and guardian ad litem address the court. During the hearing, the CPS investigator explains the department’s concerns, including unstable housing, alleged substance use, lack of cooperation with services, and dental neglect. Testimony also covers in-home services, placement with a relative, Native American heritage inquiry efforts, and questions about visitation and future placement options. The mother denies current substance use, explains why she refused entry and drug screening, describes her living situation, and argues that false reports were made against her. After hearing testimony and closing arguments, the judge rules that the children will remain in DHHS custody, continue placement with a relative, and sets the matter for adjudication trial.
