Description
Respondent-appellant, father [hereinafter "Father"], appeals from the first circuit family courts August 1, 2003 order, which, inter alia, divested his parental rights and awarded permanent custody of his children to the Director of Human Services. On appeal, Father argues that: (1) the family court committed reversible error by ignoring the fact that the Department of Human Services [hereinafter "DHS"] abused its discretion and violated his parental rights when it failed to place his children with his non-Muslim brother; (2) DHS abused its discretion and violated his parental rights by relocating his children from their first, "quasi-Muslim" home to a second "official Muslim foster home"; (3) DHS abused its discretion and violated his parental rights by designating a non-therapeutic Muslim home as the post-trial, custodial placement for his children; and (4) the family court violated his equal protection and due process rights by, sua sponte, permitting his deceased wifes Muslim relatives to intervene and by appointing them counsel, while denying the same rights to Fathers non-Muslim relatives.
