Dane Co. DHS v. Susan P. S, 2010AP573, District 4, 12/9/10
court of appeals decision (1-judge, not for publication); pro se
Determination of the “best interests of the child” at TPR disposition includes consideration of various factors, including the “wishes of the child.” The TPR court need not hear directly from the child, but may instead take evidence of the child’s wishes from other sources.
Court discusses evidentiary issues that appear to be too inconsequential, not to say idiosyncratic, to bear recitation.
