C.J.(S.)R. v. G.D.S.

FLANIGAN, Judge

(concurring in result.)

I concur in the result. The instant record demonstrates that the trial court should have appointed a guardian ad litem for the two children and abused its discretion by not doing so. I do not agree that the mere pleading of child abuse requires a trial court to appoint a guardian ad litem in all cases of this nature. I do not feel that there is “a legislative oversight” in § 452.-490.4. Whether that statute should be amended is a legislative matter.
