Calif. COA Decides ICWA Placement Proximity Case

Here is the opinion:

In re Anthony T

An excerpt:

Anthony T., a member of the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indian Tribe, and his mother, Brooke H., a non-Indian, appeal an order placing Anthony in foster care with an Indian family. They contend the placement is not within “reasonable proximity” to the child’s home as required under title 25 United States Code section 1915, subdivision (b), and Welfare and Institutions Code section 361.31, subdivision (b). We reverse.
