In re C.R

In In re C.R., 108 Ohio St. 3d 369, 843 N.E.2d 1188, 2006 Ohio 1191, the Court stated that an adjudication of abuse, neglect, or dependency implicitly involves a determination of the unsuitability of the child's parents. Id. at P 22, 843 N.E.2d 1188. The implicit unsuitability determination applies to "custodial and/or noncustodial parents." Id. at P 23, 843 N.E.2d 1188. The Court concluded that "when a juvenile court adjudicates a child to be abused, neglected, or dependent, it has no duty to make a separate finding at the dispositional hearing that a noncustodial parent is unsuitable before awarding legal custody to a nonparent." Id. at P 24, 843 N.E.2d 1188.
