Question Presented (OCR Extract)

1. Whether a state court may completely remove a parent ’s constitutionally protected right to the care, custody, and control of their child through a hearing held without prior notice, in violation of the parent ’s fundamental rights under fourteenth and first amendments? 2. Whether a state court may completely remove a parent ’s constitutionally protected right to care, custody, and control of their child while simultaneously: (1) denying the parent access to the report relied upon by the court to do so; (2) denying the opportunity to rebut such report; and (3) prohibiting the parent from presenting exculpatory, inculpatory, rebuttal, and impeachment evidence? 3. Whether a state court may issue an order of protection against a parent in the absence of any evidence of abuse, while simultaneously denying the parent access to the report used against her and prohibiting the presentation of exculpatory, rebuttal, inculpatory, and impeachment evidence, in violation of the parent ’s fundamental rights under fourteenth and first amendments? 4. Whether a court ’s removal of a child with disabilities, recognized under the Americans with Disabilities Act, from a parent identified in medical records as her primary support system —based on an unrebutted opinion and without input from a ii the child ’s treating medical professionals —violates Title II of the ADA, fourteenth and first amendments? 5. Whether a state court violates the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) by denying individual access to a report that alleges a mental health diagnosis and recommends mandatory treatment for that individual, while simultaneously using that report to issue child custody orders, an order of protection, and to mandate treatment? 6.

Whether a court ’s knowing reliance on perjured testimony, falsified records, and unrebutted opinions —combined with: (1) its denial of exculpatory, rebuttal, impeachment, and inculpatory evidence, and (2) its repeated violations of due process and the fundamental right to familial association —constitutes a structural breakdown in judicial integrity warranting redress under Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32 (1991)? £ iii 8. Whether a court ’s exclusion of testimony from a 15-year-old child and her treating mental health professionals —while accepting hearsay and opinions on her mental health from non-treating professionals —violates the child ’s fundamental rights under first and fourteenth amendment?
