Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: Saleem El-Amin v. Department of Children and Families
Case No.: 2017AP1561
Officials: Kessler, P.J., Brennan and Dugan, JJ.
Focus: Child Neglect – Statutory Interpreration – Court Error
Saleem El-Amin appeals an order of the circuit court affirming a decision of the Department of Children and Families (DCF) that found El-Amin committed neglect of a child within the meaning of WIS. STAT. § 48.02(12g) (2015-16). El-Amin contends that: (1) he is not a caregiver, as contemplated by WIS. STAT. § 48.685; (2) the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) violated his due process rights; (3) the ALJ relied on facts contrary to the evidence; and (4) the proceedings before the ALJ were fundamentally unfair. We disagree and affirm.
