Notes of Decisions

   Dental Care

   Where the trial court excercised its continuing discretion at the best interest of the child, it was not an abuse of discretion for it to require payment by the Philadelphia Department of Human Services for the child’s dental care, even though the child was not committed to DHS. In re N.E., 787 A.2d 1040 (Pa. Super. 2001).

   Education

   Juvenile Court has authority to order county youth services agency to fulfill a duty to give financial support to dependent child, and trial court may enter an order directing agency to fund placement of child in preschool program, although the cost for such would not be reimbursed by Department of Public Welfare. In re Tameka M., 580 A.2d 750 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1990).

   Dependency

   Considering the enormous implications of a dependency finding, such a determination can only be made in compliance with statutory requirements regarding dependency determinations and cannot be made by a trial court sua sponte without petition for dependency having been filed. Fallaro v. Yeager, 528 A.2d 222 (Pa. Super. 1987).

   Subsection (a)

   The provisions of subsection (a) and 55 Pa. Code §  3130.34(4) contemplate the court entering a dispositional order under its authority in 42 Pa.C.S. §  6351 (relating to disposition of dependent child) which order mandates participation by the county institution district. In re Lowry, 484 A.2d 383 (Pa. 1984).
