Abstract

In the Blackfeet Tribal Court of Appeals, the Court clarified that when a Juvenile Officer reasonably acts to remove children from a alleged dangerous condition, the children's rights to Due Process are violated when no substantiating petition is presented to the Court within 48 hours, pursuant to Blackfeet Law and Order Code, Ch. 7, Sec. 4. The Children must be represented by counsel, and previous orders may be vacated, and children may be returned to parent from whom they were taken.
