Q: NE Juvenile Court Can an affidavit removing a child be used in both child's case and parent's case?
Law enforcement (investigating officer) requests court to Order Temp. Custody of Juvenile who though his own acts is putting himself and siblings at risk of harm.
Are there any court rules/Ne statutes preventing the County Attorney from filing petitions against the Juvenile for his acts against siblings that puts himself and them at risk of harm under NE 43-247(1) and then use the exact same affidavit with new case number in an abuse/neglect case NE 43-247(3)(a) citing the parents for lack of proper support through no fault of their own and finding juveniles to be in a dangerous situation to their health, safety and morals?
A: It is possible for one affidavit to be used as evidence in multiple court matters.
