Description
Mother appeals the order of the district court of Curry County adjudicating her three children neglected, giving legal and physical custody of the children to the Human Services Department (Department), and requiring her to abide by the provisions of a treatment plan. We discuss (1) whether mother was entitled to custody of the children in January 1985; (2) whether mother neglected the children within the meaning of NMSA 1978, Section 32-1-3(L)(2) (Cum. Supp. 1988) of the Children's Code, NMSA 1978, Sections 32-1-1 to 32-1-59 (Repl. 1986 & Cum. Supp.1988); and (3) abandonment to the extent it may have been considered by the trial court. We reverse.
