Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- The removal of a child
from parental custody pursuant to Va. Code Ann. § 16.1-251 is not a final
determination of the child's custody and, therefore, is not appealable.
Within five days of taking a child into custody without the court's
approval, the Department of Family Services must file a petition alleging
abuse or neglect and must obtain an emergency removal order pursuant to §
16.1-251. It is not until the court finds by a preponderance of the
evidence that the child is abused or neglected within the meaning of the
statute and issues a final disposition order pursuant to § 16.1-278.2 that
an appeal may be taken.
