In re Kamelia S

In In re Kamelia S. (2000) 82 Cal. App. 4th 1224, the child was ordered placed in foster care. The father appealed from that order, and while the appeal was pending, he took the law into his own hands and absconded with the minor. ( In re Kamelia S., supra, 82 Cal. App. 4th at pp. 1225-1226.) The father's appeal was dismissed on the ground that appellant was not entitled to obtain review of the juvenile court's order while at the same time being in contempt of the very order from which he appealed.
