Description

WADE, Justice. Respondents urge a rehearing largely because they claim that the court in the original opinion overlooked the fact that the juvenile court cannot absolutely and permanently deprive a natural parent of the custody of his child. There are a number of sections of our statutes which provide in substance that any order of the juvenile court depriving a parent of the custody of his child may be revoked or modified and the custody and control of such child returned to the parent on a showing of changed conditions which require such return of custody in the interest of the childs welfare. That such is the law we have no doubt, and in using the terms absolutely and permanently deprive in the original opinion we fully appreciated that to this extent they were not strictly accurate. Those terms were taken from divorce cases where the award of the custody of the children are always subject to modification upon a showing of changes in conditions which require a change in custody in the interest of the childrens welfare. The same is true of proceedings involving the custody of the children. Probably the only possible way that a parent can be absolutely and permanently deprived of the custody of his child is by adoption. In view of this situation and respondents argument we feel that a clarification is in order.
