Description
Lana Koepf, administratrix of the estate of Scott Edward Koepf, deceased, brought this action in the District Court for the
wrongful death of a minor child, Scott Edward Koepf, against the defendant County of York under the provisions of the Political
Subdivisions Tort Claims Act. §§ 23-2401 to 23-2420, R. R. S. 1943. Actions under the Political Subdivisions
Tort Claims Act are triable to the court without a jury. At the Conclusion of all the evidence in the case, the trial court
entered judgment for the defendant. Plaintiff appeals. On December 7, 1971, the county attorney of York County, Nebraska, filed a petition in the juvenile department in the county
court of York County alleging that Scott was a neglected child within the meaning of the juvenile laws of the State of Nebraska.
The petition alleges that Scott was born on November 28, 1970, the illegitimate son of the administratrix. The petition prayed
that the county court inquire into the alleged neglect of Scott and make such order as might be required. On the filing of
the petition, the county Judge, Judge Hermann Glock, entered an order directing that the child be taken from the custody of
the administratrix by the sheriff and placed in the custody of the York County welfare department, "until such time as the
matter is heard." A summons was issued at the same time setting the matter for hearing on the 23rd day of December 1971, at
2 p.m. Pursuant to the order, the sheriff went to the York apartment of Lana Koepf and there took custody of Scott and delivered
him to the welfare department of York County. On December 23, 1971, Lana appeared but the matter was continued by Judge Glock
until January 4, 1972. On January 4 the hearing was held. The court ordered that the matter be continued until February 8
at 2 p.m. for final determination and further ordered that the care and custody of Scott be continued in the York County welfare
department.
