Juveniles – JIPS – sufficiency of the evidence

APPEAL from an order of the circuit court for Milwaukee County: DENNIS R. CIMPL, Judge. Affirmed.

Ester M. and Alexander M., parents of sixteen-year-old Soreh M., appeal the order finding Soreh M. to be a juvenile in need of protection or services (“JIPS”). On appeal, Ester M. and Alexander M., henceforth referred to as “the parents,” argue that: (1) the trial court lacked competency to order conditions for them to complete before the court would consider placing Soreh M. in their home again (“conditions of return”); (2) the evidence was insufficient to support the trial court’s order; and (3) the order impinges on their right to religious freedom. This court disagrees with the parents and affirms the trial court’s order.
