T. R. C. v. Wisconsin

Is Wis. Stat. §48.415 unconstitutional as applied when it was used to terminate the Fourteenth Amendment fundamental right of familial integrity of a mother due to “continuing need of protection or services” when the mother did not endanger the daughter?

Does the Fourteenth Amendment require Wisconsin to protect a parent’s fundamental right of familial integrity with strict scrutiny analysis and least restrictive means throughout the termination of parental rights (TPR) case until that right is terminated?

Did Wisconsin fail to protect a mother’s Fourteenth Amendment fundamental right of familial integrity when the trial court told the mother that a dispositional hearing would be “a bit different” than a termination of parental rights (TPR) trial and the trial court would still consider “all of the evidence” if the mother signed a no-contest plea?

Was the guardian ad litem compromised beyond repair, in his role as advocate for the minor child involving her Fourteenth Amendment fundamental right of familial integrity in a termination of parental rights (TPR) case, when a search warrant was issued to seize his computer for child pornography during a “very close to reunification case?”
