In a dependency proceeding, in what circumstances will the court strike down on the appellant's right to confront the witness?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Persons Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. L. A. Cnty. Dep't of Children v. E.H. (In re A.H.), B285546 (Cal. App. 2018):
In reply, appellants argue generally that the court violated their Sixth Amendment right to confront witnesses against them, citing criminal cases, such as Delaware v. Van Arsdall (1986) 475 U.S. 673. However, the Sixth Amendment right to confrontation does not apply to dependency proceedings. (In re April C. (2005) 131 Cal.App.4th 599, 611.)
