APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Kane County; the Hon. ERNEST
W. AKEMANN, Judge, presiding.
Defendant, Gerry L. Dondanville, appeals from two trial court orders, one finding him in contempt of court and imposing a fine of $1000, and the second, an order denying his motion for the appointment of a special assistant state's attorney to represent him in this appeal. To resolve the issues raised in these appeals, a detailed recitation of the facts and history of the proceeding in the trial court is required and is set out below.
Plaintiff, Gene Armentrout, and defendant were opposing candidates for the Republican nomination for the office of Kane County State's Attorney; at the time suit was filed, the defendant was the incumbent state's attorney. On March 9, 1976, plaintiff filed a complaint against defendant alleging that defendant was an "interested party" within the meaning of section 6 of "An Act in regard to attorneys general and state's attorneys" (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 14, par. 6) *fn1 and therefore he should be replaced as state's attorney in the investigation of certain matters relating to alleged criminal conduct on the part of plaintiff; the complaint also requested that a special prosecutor be appointed to conduct such investigation. The trial court, finding defendant to be an "interested party" within the meaning of section 6, issued an injunction enjoining defendant and his assistant state's attorneys from presenting any evidence to the Kane County grand jury involving allegations of violations of statutes or ordinances by plaintiff. Further, on March 18, the trial court, in an ex parte order, appointed Robert Casey as special prosecutor to investigate the alleged criminal conduct on plaintiff's part in a matter involving one Richard Montress; the order also required defendant to turn over to the special prosecutor forthwith all information including all documents in his possession regarding the "Montress affair." On April 7, defendant filed an answer to the complaint; subsequently, on April 14, defendant was personally served with a copy of the ex parte order of March 18. Defendant filed a motion alleging that as he was not in default under the complaint, having filed his answer 29 days after service of summons, the court was without jurisdiction to enter its order of March 18; defendant also petitioned for a change of venue. Following continuances by both sides, plaintiff filed an answer to defendant's motion to vacate and objections to defendant's petition for a change of venue.
On May 3, the trial court denied defendant's motion to vacate the order of March 18 and defendant's petition for a change of venue, on the ground that an issue of substance had been previously decided; however, the order further allowed defendant to renew his motion for a change of venue if further litigation regarding this matter arose. On May 10, the defendant filed an affidavit stating that the documents and information requested had been turned over to the special prosecutor pursuant to the order of March 18; the special prosecutor filed his receipt acknowledging delivery of those items. On June 28, the trial court entered a supplemental order changing the designation of special prosecutor to that of special state's attorney and granted the special state's attorney the same powers and authorities in regard to the investigation as would be possessed by the Kane County State's Attorney.
On July 16, the special state's attorney moved to expand his authority to allow him to investigate any and all alleged criminal conduct relating to plaintiff while he was an assistant state's attorney, as opposed to merely matters concerning the "Montress affair." Defendant's first assistant state's attorney appeared before the court to request a continuance. The trial court denied defendant's motion for a continuance and in a written order dated July 21, ordered defendant and all his personnel to turn over to the special state's attorney any and all additional material pertaining or relating to any alleged criminal activity on the part of plaintiff; further, defendant and his staff were ordered to return to the circuit clerk's office all court files relating to such charges involving plaintiff. Defendant's first assistant filed an affidavit stating that all pertinent files had been returned to the circuit clerk's office and that a listing of those files had been given to the special state's attorney.
On July 30, both the special state's attorney and defendant appeared in court on the special state's attorney's motion to require defendant to report under oath his compliance with the July 21 order; defendant at that time requested a hearing regarding the order which expanded the authority given to the special state's attorney. The trial court denied both defendant's request for a hearing and the motion of the special state's attorney, the court being of the opinion that the affidavit of defendant's first assistant fully complied with the court's order. At this time defendant disclaimed the affidavit as being without his authority or direction.
The special state's attorney filed a motion asking the court to reconsider its denial of his motion to have defendant state under oath that he had complied with the court order of July 21. In a written order of August 26, the trial court ordered the defendant to report under oath by September 7, as to whether or not he had complied with the July 21 order, and that by September 7, he deliver to the special state's attorney all additional material relating to this matter not previously delivered. At this point, defendant retained private counsel who petitioned for clarification and rehearing on all prior orders of the court regarding disclosures. On September 10, the special state's attorney petitioned for a rule to show cause why defendant should not be held in contempt for willful failure to comply with the order of August 26; the special state's attorney also filed objections to defendant's petition for a rehearing.
On September 15, defendant moved to vacate all disclosure orders previously entered in this case; the court took the matter under advisement and continued the case until September 20 for additional motions and petitions for a rule to show cause. On September 20, the trial court denied defendant's motion to vacate and for rehearing and a hearing on the petition for a rule to show cause was set for September 29.
On September 29, following arguments by counsel, the trial court denied the following motions made by defendant: motion to strike and/or dismiss the petition for rule to show cause; motion for stay of proceedings; motion to seek court's statement of material fact and presentment for leave to appeal under Supreme Court Rules; and a motion to strike the caption. Further, the court granted the special state's attorney's petition for a rule to show cause. Defendant was ordered to appear on October 13 and show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court for disobeying the orders entered by the court on July 21 and August 26.
On October 13, defendant's attorney filed an affidavit to the effect that defendant was delayed in returning from Florida and requested a continuance. The trial court granted a continuance until October 19 and denied the special state's attorney's request for a body attachment. In the meantime, it appears that on October 8, defendant filed a notice of appeal from the trial court's order denying defendant's motion to vacate the disclosure orders, alleging that the circuit court lacked jurisdiction of the subject matter to enter the order.
On October 19, defendant, in open court, represented that the court's orders had been complied with and that there was nothing further to turn over; thereupon defendant's counsel moved to dismiss the rule to show cause as there had now been compliance with the court's orders. The special state's attorney stated that on the basis of defendant's representation, he was satisfied that the court's orders had now been complied with. However, the trial court took the position that the rule to show cause proceeding was separate and apart from the actual compliance with those orders. The trial court, while noting that defendant's position was that the court did not have the power to enter the order, cited the numerous delays occasioned by defendant and noted that defendant's compliance was not in writing nor under oath as requested. The trial court then several times inquired whether the only reason defendant had not previously complied with the orders was because he regarded them to be without jurisdiction. Defendant's attorney ultimately responded,
"MR. MARINACCIO [defense counsel]: I have had a brief conference with him, Your Honor, and he has indicated that it has been his opinion all along that the Court is incorrect in the manner in which it has handled this case. That the orders the Court entered did lack jurisdiction, the Court did not have the authority to do the things it did and that's the reason he resisted in complying with the orders of Court."
The trial court then stated, "All right. Now, we have a hearing, is that right, we have had a hearing?" Defense counsel questioned whether the proceedings constituted a hearing. The trial court offered each side the opportunity to present any evidence; the special state's attorney stated that he had no evidence to offer under the circumstances, and defense counsel responded that defendant was pursuing his legal rights by the filing of the motions and objections. Neither side wished to present anything further, nor did either side request a continuance for the purpose of gathering further evidence to present. The matter was then continued for the submission of memorandums of law by both sides.
On November 24, the trial court issued a written order holding defendant in contempt of court and imposing a fine of $1000. The order gave a well-detailed history of this litigation in chronological order and set out with great care the reasons for defendant being held in contempt. Defense counsel then requested that a special state's attorney be appointed to represent defendant on appeal. The trial court was of the opinion that the appointment of such a special state's attorney to represent defendant on appeal would place the county in the unusual position of both paying to sustain the trial court's decision and then paying someone else to overturn the judge's decision, and so denied the motion for the appointment of a special state's attorney on appeal. Defendant now appeals from both the finding of contempt and the denial of his motion for the appointment of counsel on appeal.
Defendant's first contention on appeal is that he was found guilty of indirect criminal contempt and as such was denied his constitutional rights to notice of the charges, hearing before an impartial court, trial by jury and the right to be proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
1, 2 We agree with defendant that he was found guilty of indirect criminal contempt. In cases of indirect criminal contempt, a defendant is entitled to a formal hearing on the contempt charges and to all appropriate constitutional rights. (People v. Winchell (1977), 45 Ill. App.3d 752, 359 N.E.2d 487.) Nevertheless, we do not believe that defendant was denied his right to a hearing before an impartial court, notice of the charges and proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The record reveals that the petition for a rule to show cause why defendant should not be held in contempt was filed on September 15 and set for hearing on September 29. While defendant did not appear on September 29, he was represented by counsel who appeared and argued several motions. The court entered the rule to show cause and set it for hearing on October 13 at the request of the defense counsel; a continuance of the rule was allowed to October 19, again at the request of defense counsel; on October 20 the rule was finally heard. While it is true that originally the rule to show cause was brought by the special state's attorney and it was the trial court who directed the contempt proceeding against defendant, the activities which formed the basis of the contempt in both the rule sought by the special state's attorney and the finding of contempt by the trial court were the same in both instances.
3 Defendant's contention that the trial court should have recused itself is without merit. First, defendant at no time subsequent to the filing of the petition for a rule to show cause requested a change of judges, despite the fact that the previous April the trial court in denying defendant's motion for a change of venue specifically reserved to defendant that right if the litigation continued. Secondly, despite defendant's allegation, the record does not suggest or reveal bias or prejudice against defendant on the part of the trial court. Nor does it appear that the trial court here had become so personally embroiled in the contemptuous events that it should have recused itself. See People v. Jashunsky (1972), 51 Ill.2d 220, 282 N.E.2d 1.
4 We are also of the opinion that based on the record defendant did receive a hearing and the opportunity to present witnesses and evidence, nor was he denied the right to be proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Defense counsel, as well as the special state's attorney, declined to present any evidence when asked to do so by the trial court; nor did the defense counsel request a continuance for such purpose. In criminal contempt prosecution, the fundamental fairness standard of due process, rather than the due process components of the Fifth and Sixth Amendments, is to be applied. (People v. Winchell.) In view of the above circumstances, we cannot agree that the hearing was so fundamentally unfair as to deny defendant due process of law.
5 It is clear, however, that defendant's fine must be reduced from $1000 to $500. In a contempt proceeding, where the sentence actually imposed exceeds six months imprisonment or a fine in excess of $500, the record must reflect that the defendant was afforded a jury trial or knowingly and understandingly waived his right in open court. (County of McLean v. Kickapoo Creek, Inc. (1972), 51 Ill.2d 353, 282 N.E.2d 720.) The record here does not reflect that such a waiver was obtained or was given by defendant. Accordingly, we therefore reduce defendant's fine from $1000 to $500. See People v. Roberts (1976), 42 Ill. App.3d 604, 356 N.E.2d 429; City of Chicago v. King (1967), 86 Ill. App.2d 340, 230 N.E.2d 41.
We turn next to defendant's contention that the trial court was without authority to enter mandatory orders compelling defendant to turn over information to the special state's attorney; further, defendant argues that the alleged delays in this litigation, occasioned by the good faith filing of motions by him, do not constitute a basis for a finding of indirect criminal contempt. According to defendant, he had maintained throughout the proceedings that the trial court was without jurisdiction to enter the turnover orders, and that the motions and objections filed on his behalf were good faith efforts to challenge that jurisdiction.
6 In testing the validity of a finding of contempt a court may review and should review the validity of the underlying production orders. (Stimpert v. Abdnour (1962), 24 Ill.2d 26, 179 N.E.2d 602.) Contempt will not lie for disobeying an order which is void for want of jurisdiction of the parties or subject matter or because the court has no power to decide the particular matter. (City of Chicago v. King.) Illinois decisions have been in accord with the Federal cases in holding that if the issuing court has the necessary jurisdiction, its order, no matter how erroneous, must be obeyed under pain of contempt, until set aside. City of Chicago v. King (1967), 86 Ill. App.2d 340, 354, 230 N.E.2d 41, 48.
7 Defendant further argues that the trial court prematurely and without any authority, invaded the province of the executive branch, to wit, the office of the special state's attorney, before the special state's attorney had tried to obtain the material by means available to him, namely, the impanelling of a special grand jury. However, defendant does not question the authority of the trial court to order the appointment of the special state's attorney to investigate these matters; the special state's attorney stands in the position of the state's attorney and is entitled to the material related to the matters he is investigating. Given the power to make such appointment, it is unreasonable to hold that the trial court does not then have the power to assure that the materials of the office are available to the special state's attorney. Defendant's argument actually boils down to a choice between two methods of compelling the turnover of the material; by court order or by impanelling a special grand jury before which defendant could be summoned and could testify as to the material in his possession relating to the matters under investigation. Defendant has suggested no compelling reason for taking the grand jury approach over the trial court's issuing a turnover order. Therefore defendant's contention that the trial court was without jurisdiction to issue the turnover orders is without merit.
Defendant also argues that he should not be held in contempt for the delays caused by his filing of motions and objections to the proceedings. Careful review of the record reveals that having resisted compliance with the court orders of July 21 and August 26 with the filing of motions and objections, even seeking an interlocutory appeal, defendant, threatened by a petition for a rule to show cause, finally "complied" on October 20 by merely representing orally to the trial court and the special state's attorney that there was nothing further to turn over to the special state's attorney. It is clear from the record that such "compliance" could have been made at the time either of the court orders was entered. Had defendant seriously wished to challenge the jurisdiction of the trial court to enter the turnover orders, he could have refused to comply at the time the orders were entered, be held in contempt, and have taken the matter up on appeal then and there. While recognizing the rights of litigants to file motions and objections, we cannot say that the activities of defendant here were done in "good faith" but were instead delaying tactics which ultimately resulted in compliance with the trial court's orders long after they should have been complied with.
8 Viewing the entire proceedings in the light of the above facts and the carefully detailed contempt order in this case, we hold that the actions of defendant in this case clearly support the trial court's finding that he was in contempt of court.
Defendant has also appealed from the denial of his motion for the appointment of a special state's attorney to represent him on appeal. In denying defendant's motion, the trial court was concerned that such an appointment would create the unusual situation in which the county would be paying both for the sustaining of the trial court's decision and for the attack on that decision. On appeal, it is argued by the special state's attorney that as the motion was presented on December 2 when defendant had become a private citizen, his term of office having expired on November 30, he no longer had standing to pursue a motion in his former capacity as state's attorney.
9 The appointment of a special state's attorney involves the exercise of judicial discretion in the determination of whether a contingency authorizing the exercise of such power has arisen. (People ex rel. Baughman v. Eaton (1974), 24 Ill. App.3d 833, 834, 321 N.E.2d 531, 532.) We do not agree with the reasoning of the trial court that such an appointment be denied for the sole reason that the county has to pay the cost for both sides of the appeal. Nor do we agree with the latter argument advanced by the special state's attorney; clearly, where the events which form the basis of the action against the state's attorney occurred during his tenure of office, the fact that the request for counsel is made after he has left office does not control whether or not he is entitled to the appointment of special counsel to represent him.
10 However, despite the lack of merit in the above arguments, the record here clearly supports the trial judge's denial of defendant's motion. Defendant argues that his actions in this litigation were done to protect the office of state's attorney. However, the record reflects that during this litigation defendant was not performing necessary functions of his office but was essentially on a "private frolic" of his own. The delays in this case were most often occasioned by defendant's private demands on his time, namely, vacations, job interviews and preparing for an out-of-State bar examination. Therefore, we hold that no abuse of discretion was committed by the trial court in denying defendant's motion for the appointment of a special state's attorney to represent him on this appeal.
Therefore, we affirm the finding of contempt and the denial of defendant's motion for an appointment of a special state's attorney on appeal. We remand the cause to the circuit court of Kane County with directions that an amended mittimus issue reducing the fine imposed against defendant to the sum of $500.
Affirmed and remanded with directions.

text: Your Next eReader Could Be Made Of Silk A new technology could potentially be used to make flexible electronics with the help of silk. In the future we may just flexible gadgets made out of silk. A group of researchers in Taiwan has developed a way to turn silk membranes into a material suitable for creating electronic devices like eReaders. The research took two years and the process involves creating liquid silk membranes that work as insulators for flexible thin-film transistors. "We didn't know at first that it would be the best material, but after a few months of tests we realized it was quite viable," Professor Hwang Jenn-Chang told PC World. "No one else has thought to try this, or at least no one else has succeeded." The researchers are currently in talks to begin utilizing the technology in commercial products.

How much does basement waterproofing cost in IA?
There are a few methods to keep water from your cellar or remove what gets in. The priciest, in addition to the most effective, can require substantial excavation, our researchers learned in interviewing householders and contractors that were highly graded.
Interior-centered waterproofing systems, often called facet tasks that were damaging, entail shifting water that's inside the home out. Repairing a water issue from the inside may be an alternative that is cheaper, especially in cases where outdoor work is't possible or sensible.
Drain: This program moves water away from home through trench or a hole in the foundation, paired with a pump. This type of system should also include insulation of basement walls, with a steam barrier to protect against condensation. Drainage systems start at around $2, 000
Sealants: We do because they say they neglect too easily sealants are recommended by 't,. The expense of a sealer-based water proofing project may range from $4 to $8 a squarefoot.
Epoxy injection: Like sealants, this option isn't always desired because it might provide only a temporary solution to fill cracks in poured-tangible partitions. Injections that are epoxy may start at $300.
Because the intention will be to stop water from getting in the home exterior water proofing projects are sometimes called side occupations that were positive.
Excavation: We consider installing a subterranean trench or perimeter strain if completed accurately, to be the method that is most reliable. However, the average array for an excavation occupation is $20, 000 large as $80,000, determined by how accessible the targeted areas are, just how much searching is needed and how much landscaping or additional
Sodium bentonite: This process includes including a clay substance to the dirt around your home absorb water and to fill cracks. It's a solution that is temporary and hard to regulate, because outside drains can block. Costs for this method begin at around $500.

At HHS, NHSRU researchers retrieved data from the hospital's Human Resource Information System (HRIS), analyzing and synthesizing data sources not usually accessed for this purpose. The analysis revealed some interesting aspects of the HHS nursing workforce. It showed that HHS, with one of the largest nursing workforces in the country, is heading into an impending problem if it doesn't increase the number of younger nurses on its staff. It also found the internal turnover at HHS was high with 32 per cent of the nursing workforce changing jobs or status. In contrast, the overall retention rate was high and the degree of external turnover was low. The findings also showed younger nurses were accessing paid leave more than their senior counterparts.

Nikon Capture NX2
Mark Peters : June 25th 2008 - 09:20 CET
Nikon Capture NX2 image editing software :
Nikon Europe is pleased to announce the introduction of its new image editing software, Capture NX2. As an upgraded version of the proven Nikon Capture NX that was introduced in 2006, Capture NX2 software is even more powerful and easier to use. It is intended for all photographers looking to achieve quick and comfortable image enhancements with intuitive operation. In addition to the acclaimed Color Control Point feature, the new version offers Selection Control Point, enabling users to apply enhancements such as Unsharp Mask and D-Lighting to a specific area that is immediately viewable on the monitor.
Capture NX2 Features
Using the Auto Retouch Brush, one can simply apply mouse strokes to clear away specks (caused by dust when an image is shot) that appear on the image. To fill a traced area, the software detects and applies the most appropriate portion to deliver the most natural image. Workspaces based on assumed workflow and an improved Edit List further enhance efficient operation and expanded expression. Ludovic Drean, Product Manager Software at Nikon Europe B.V.: "Having received so much valuable feedback from our customers using Nikon Capture NX, we developed a new generation that has the maturity to satisfy any demanding photographer who will get amazing and effortless results without comprising quality."
Selection Control Point
Apply enhancements such as Unsharp Mask or D-Lighting to a specific area with just a click of the mouse. The Selection Control Point recognizes the areas the user wants to modify. It can be used with virtually any image enhancement tool, including D-Lighting, Brightness, Color, Focus, Correction, and Noise Reduction.
Auto Retouch Brush
To achieve more natural-looking results, Auto Retouch Brush lets you remove specks of dust photographed on an image with just a mouse click and stroke to match the surrounding color and tones. It removes facial blemishes, imperfections on flowers, or other unwanted objects within the frame.
Shadow/Highlight Adjustments
The slider easily adjusts shadowy areas and highlighted areas. Alternatively, shadows and highlights can be altered by directly typing a value into the textbox.
The new software offers four workspaces: Browser, Metadata, Multi-Purpose and Edit, with easy switching between workspaces for window composition. Workspaces can be saved with a palette layout and reopened later. There are also various customizable shortcuts.
Quick Fix
This is a combination of frequently used tools including Level and Tone Curve, Exposure Compensation, Contrast, Highlight Protection, Shadow Protection and Saturation in a single window. For high efficiency, Quick Fix processes multiple tasks and uses image-processing steps of each function to adjust details.
Simultaneous opening of multiple settings
Multiple image processing settings can be used at the same time to make parallel process adjustments of multiple details.
Label/Rating support (XMP)
The new software supports nine kinds of labeling and five levels of ratings according to XMP, a metadata industry standard. It is compatible with ViewNX, Adobe Bridge, and Windows Vista and capable of filter sorting by label and rating.
Nikon Capture NX2 Price & Availability
In addition to these new features, Capture NX2 has further enhanced its tried-and-tested features to create Nikon's most efficient and most effective image processing software to date. Nikon Capture NX2 is compatible with both Windows Vista and XP and Macintosh OS X (version 10.4.11, 10.5.2). Nikon Capture NX2 will be available as of 20 June 2008 for a suggested retail price of €199 at both retail and on-line. Owners of previous versions of Nikon Capture NX can upgrade to Capture NX2 for just €119.

[436 N.J.Super. 64] FISHER, P.J.A.D.
In this appeal, we conclude that a parent fails to exercise the minimum degree of care required by N.J.S.A. 9:6-8.21(c)(4) when permitting children to be passengers in a vehicle driven by a person who appears to be inebriated.
Here, defendant J.A. (defendant) appeals a finding of abuse and neglect, N.J.S.A. 9:6-8.21(c)(4), based on his failure to prevent defendant S.B. (Susan, a fictitious name) from driving their children[1] while she was intoxicated. In affirming, we find no merit in defendant's argument that the facts only support a finding that he was mistaken about whether Susan was capable of safely transporting the children by motor vehicle or that his acts or omissions did not rise to the level of gross negligence.
This action was commenced against defendant and Susan, based on a referral to plaintiff Division of Youth and Family Services, now known as the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (the Division), regarding a motor vehicle incident on Sunday, May 23, 2010. The judge heard evidence that defendant, Susan, and the two children spent the weekend in Wildwood. After spending Sunday morning at a pool, the family had lunch together. The Division caseworker testified that the older child informed her that Susan drank two Bloody Marys and five or six beers. Defendant [436 N.J.Super. 65] drank only " a few beers" because he intended on driving the car home to Garfield that afternoon. While packing the car for the trip home, however, defendant noticed a tail light was not functioning -- a fact that apparently altered his mind about driving; defendant acknowledged during an interview with a Division caseworker that his license was then under suspension for driving while intoxicated.
Consequently, Susan drove the family home. During the trip, they stopped for dinner. According to the older child, the adults had two beers each. The child also told the caseworker that her mother was difficult to understand when she spoke.
The couple argued during the trip north on the Garden State Parkway. The older child expressed concern when they rode by three parked police vehicles because their car was, in her words, " going side to side," but Susan said she should not worry and that " everything [would be] fine." Later, the child pointed out another police vehicle; this time, the police vehicle pursued and eventually directed Susan to stop at a location on the Garden State Parkway, approximately twenty-five miles north of Wildwood. After participating in field sobriety
Page 658
tests, Susan was arrested and escorted into a police vehicle. An Alcotest determined her blood alcohol content (BAC) was .19, well in excess of the legal limit, N.J.S.A. 39:4-50(a) (declaring the legal limit to be a BAC of .08).
Defendant was interviewed by a Division caseworker on May 28, 2010. His statements conformed to the child's regarding Susan's consumption of alcohol that day, but he claimed he did not realize Susan was intoxicated, otherwise he would not have permitted her to drive. He also agreed with the child's assertion that he and Susan had argued over the weekend.
Defendant agreed to submit to urine screens at the Division's request. Two screens in June 2010 were negative, but a July 20, 2010 urine screen proved positive for cocaine and alcohol. When asked by the Division caseworker about the positive screen, defendant asserted that someone must have tampered with his [436 N.J.Super. 66] drink a few days earlier; he claimed a mutual friend he was with at that time was a known seller of cocaine.
The trial judge rendered a thorough written decision on June 2, 2011. He found, by a preponderance of the evidence, that on Sunday, May 23, 2010, Susan was exhibiting signs of alcoholic impairment -- slurred speech, an odor of alcohol on her breath, the swerving of her vehicle, argumentativeness, and " swaying" while standing or walking -- and that defendant " knew [Susan] was under the influence of alcohol [and] should not have driven the vehicle in that condition with the children as passengers." Although the judge rejected defendant's contention that the positive urine screen in July 2010 occurred because, in the judge's words, defendant was " slipped . . . a Mickey," the judge also found the Division's proofs inadequate to support a finding that a child was put at risk as a result; he, therefore, rejected that particular aspect of the Division's case.
Compliance hearings were conducted over the following twelve months, ultimately leading to the return of physical and legal custody to the parents and the dismissal of the action.
Defendant appeals, arguing:
I. THE LOWER COURT ERRED BY ADMITTING [THE OLDER CHILD'S] STATEMENTS INTO EVIDENCE AS UNCORROBORATED HEARSAY CONTRARY TO N.J.S.A. 9:6-[8.46(a)(4)].
We find no merit in these arguments.
Defendant first contends that the statements given by the older child to the Division caseworker were inadmissible because they were uncorroborated. Defendant is wrong in two respects.
Contrary to defendant's argument, an uncorroborated statement by a child is admissible. The limitation imposed in such circumstances arises from the Legislature's declaration that such [436 N.J.Super. 67] an uncorroborated statement, although admissible, is not alone " sufficient to make a fact finding of abuse or neglect." N.J.S.A. 9:6-8.46(a)(4). Stated another way, " a child's hearsay statement may be admitted into evidence, but may not be the sole basis for a finding of abuse or neglect." N.J. Div. of Youth & Family Servs. v. P.W.R., 205 N.J. 17, 33, 11 A.3d 844 (2011). As a result, the judge did not err in permitting the Division caseworker to recount the older child's statements.
Page 659
We also conclude that the child's statements were more than sufficiently corroborated. In general, corroborative evidence need not be direct so long as it provides some support for the out-of-court statements. N.J. Div. of Youth & Family Servs. v. Z.P.R., 351 N.J.Super. 427, 436, 798 A.2d 673 (App. Div. 2002); see also N.J. Div. of Child Prot. & Permanency v. M.C., 435 N.J.Super. 405, 89 A.3d 225 (App. Div. 2014)); N.J. Div. of Youth of Family Servs. v. L.A., 357 N.J.Super. 155, 166, 814 A.2d 656 (App. Div. 2003). The child's statements regarding both the extent of her mother's drinking that day and her state of inebriation were corroborated in many ways. For example, the police report memorialized the officer's observations that the vehicle " fail[ed] to maintain [its] lane of traffic," and that Susan's speech was " slow and slurred." Defendant also corroborated the child's statements about Susan's drinking, acknowledging in his statement to the Division that Susan " ha[d] a few Bloody Marys and some beers" shortly before the family embarked on the trip with Susan at the wheel.
We also reject defendant's second and last argument[2] that the circumstances found by the trial judge do not support a finding of abuse or neglect.
[436 N.J.Super. 68] A parent or guardian who permits a child to ride with an inebriated driver acts inconsistently with N.J.S.A. 9:6-8.21(c)(4), which defines an " abused or neglected child" as a child under the age of eighteen years:
whose physical, mental, or emotional condition has been impaired or is in imminent danger of becoming impaired as the result of the failure of his parent or guardian . . . to exercise a minimum degree of care . . . (b) in providing the child with proper supervision or guardianship, by unreasonably inflicting or allowing to be inflicted harm, or substantial risk thereof[.]
The Legislature provided no greater clarity about the reach of the phrase " minimum degree of care." The Supreme Court ascertained that it means " grossly or wantonly negligent, but not necessarily intentional" conduct. G.S. v. Dep't of Human Servs., 157 N.J. 161, 178, 723 A.2d 612 (1999). In that sense, a parent fails to exercise a minimum degree of care when, despite being " aware of the dangers inherent in a situation," the parent
Page 660
" fails adequately to supervise the child or recklessly creates a risk of serious injury to that child." Id. at 181, 723 A.2d 612. The parent is held to what " an ordinary reasonable person would understand" in considering whether a situation " poses dangerous [436 N.J.Super. 69] risks" and whether the parent acted " without regard for the potentially serious consequences." Id. at 179, 723 A.2d 612.
Our Supreme Court later illuminated G.S. 's interpretation, explaining that " every failure to perform a cautionary act is not abuse or neglect" ; " [w]hen the failure to perform a cautionary act is merely negligent, it does not trigger" the statute. N.J. Div. of Youth & Family Servs. v. T.B., 207 N.J. 294, 306-07, 24 A.3d 290 (2011). The focus on the parent's level of culpability in assessing whether a minimum degree of care has been exercised
is in synchronicity with the Legislature's expressed purpose to safeguard children. Indeed, where a parent or guardian acts in a grossly negligent or reckless manner, that deviation from the standard of care may support an inference that the child is subject to future danger. To the contrary, where a parent is merely negligent there is no warrant to infer that the child will be at future risk.
[ Id. at 307, 24 A.3d 290.]
The application of this standard in the present context is further informed not only by our motor vehicle laws, which show little tolerance for the mixing of alcohol and driving,[3] but also by a growing body of case law demonstrating the dangers imposed for child-occupants of motor vehicles. See N.J. Dep't of Children & Families v. R.R.,
__ N.J.Super. __, __, 436 N.J.Super. 53, 91 A.3d 651 (App. Div. 2014) (slip op. at 6-10) (affirming an abuse/neglect finding when a school bus driver left a five-year old unattended on a bus for nearly an hour); N.J. Dep't of Children & Families v. E.D.-O., 434 N.J.Super. 154, 160-62, 82 A.3d 330 (App. Div. 2014) (affirming an abuse/neglect finding when the mother left her nineteen-month-old child unattended in a motor vehicle while she briefly entered a nearby store). For the reasons outlined in greater depth in those cases, as further amplified by the examples cited by the Supreme Court in T.B., supra, 207 N.J. at 307-10, 24 A.3d 290, we conclude that no reasonable person could fail to appreciate the danger of permitting children to ride in a motor vehicle driven by an inebriated operator. Defendant was grossly negligent in failing [436 N.J.Super. 70] to protect the children from the imminent risk posed by Susan's driving.
