IN THE TRIBAL COURT OF

THE DELAWARE TRIBE

OF INDIANS

CANEY, KANSAS

In the Interest of:

H.K.E.,

DOB: 12/01/2023,

An Adjudicated Deprived Child.

Case No: CW-24-001

PETITION TO TERMINATE

PARENTAL RIGHTS OF

BIOLOGICAL MOTHER,

CHRISTY RHOTENBERRY

COMES NOW, the Delaware Tribe of Indians (“Delaware” or the “Tribe”), by and through its Attorney, Jeremy E. Otis, and pursuant to the laws of the Tribe, hereby moves this Court to terminate the parental rights of Christy Rhotenberry, pursuant to §§ 501(3)-(4) & (8)-(9) of the Delaware Tribe of Indians Child Welfare Code. In support of this Motion, the Tribe states the following:

Jurisdiction has previously been established over the subject matter and the parties herein and continues to be proper and both Natural Parents have been properly served with Notice, as it is evidenced by the Natural Parents’ physical presence at, at least, one (1) scheduled hearing in this matter.

This case began, in the Tribal Court of the Delaware Tribe of Indians, with a valid and legal transfer from Tulsa County, Oklahoma, after it was reported that there was domestic violence in the home between Natural Father and Natural Mother. Allegedly, Natural Father held a gun to Natural Mother’s head. It was also reported that Natural Mother was positive for heroin and methamphetamine at a prenatal visit. According to the Petition, the Minor Child was allegedly “deprived due to the abandonment, failure to support, failure to protect, possessing/using illegal drugs/addiction; domestic violence; failure to provide a safe and stable home; lack of proper parental care and guardianship; and threat of harm. It has also been reported that Natural Mother has had her parental rights terminated in the past, in relation to a sibling of the Minor Child.

The Minor Child was taken into emergency custody on June 4, 2024, and over the last fifteen (15) months that this case has been pending, the Minor Child has been placed in two (2) different foster homes.

The Juvenile in question, H.K.E, is a Minor Child who was adjudicated to be deprived on January 21, 2025. As a result of that adjudication, the Minor Child has been placed in custody outside of the home of the Natural Parents.

Christy Rhotenberry is the Natural Mother of the Minor Child, H.K.E. The Tribe requests that the parental rights of Christy Rhotenberry be terminated regarding the Minor Child on the grounds that the Minor Child has previously been adjudicated as deprived; the Natural Mother was provided an appropriate treatment/service plan, which was approved by the Court, and she has failed to comply; the conditions that led to the removal of the child continues to exist; the Natural Mother is an unfit parent due to her excessive use of narcotic and/or dangerous drugs which affect her ability to care and provide for herself, let alone a child; the Natural Mother has not consistently engaged with ICW and her whereabouts are often unknown; the conduct or condition of the parent or parents is not likely to change over time; Natural Mother has had her parental rights terminated in the past, as they related to a sibling of the Minor Child in this matter; and it is in the best interests of the Minor Child that Natural Mother’s parental rights be terminated by the Court. See §§ 501(3)-(4) & (9). On September 10, 2024, Natural Mother signed her Individualized Service Plan (ISP), thereby agreeing to complete its requirements.

On or around January 21, 2025, the Minor Child was adjudicated as a deprived child. On or around May 14, 2025, it was reported by ICW that Natural Mother’s whereabouts were unknown and ICW had been unsuccessful in attempting to contact Natural Mother. It was also reported that Natural Mother “shows signs that she may be under the influence of substances.” It was also reported that Natural Father was incarcerated on Domestic Violence charges, which involved Natural Mother and the use of a firearm. It was assumed that Natural Mother and Natural Father were still together in a romantic relationship, despite the occurrence of domestic violence.

On or around June 23, 2025, Natural Mother had not attempted to make any contact with ICW and her whereabouts remained unknown. It was also reported that despite being ordered to do so, Natural Mother had not completed a drug test.

On or around July 9, 2025, it was reported that Natural Mother contacted ICW on July 8, 2025. She left a voicemail, but her request was unclear to ICW. When ICW attempted to call back there was no answer and she was forced to leave a voicemail. Natural Mother never called ICW back. After July 8, 2025, Natural Mother began contacting ICW via email, infrequently. Natural Mother stated that ICW was not helping her and has not maintained contact, despite Natural Mother’s own refusal to establish contact with ICW.

On or around November 17, 2025, ICW had not had any recent contact with Natural Mother. The last time ICW had contacted Natural Mother was October 6, 2025. All other attempts to contact Natural Mother have been unsuccessful.

On or around September 10, 2024, Natural Mother signed, and was placed on, an Individualized Service Plan (ISP), with the following requirements:

a. Substance Abuse Assessment;

b. Hair Follicle Drug Test;

c. Random UA Testing;

d. Domestic Violence Assessment;

e. Mental Health Assessment;

f. Parenting Classes;

g. Employment;

h. Safe and Stable Housing;

i. Transportation;

j. Release of Information to Service Provider(s); and

As of February 6, 2026, Natural Mother has not completed any of the requirements listed in her signed ISP.

WHEREFORE, premises considered, the Delaware Tribe of Indians respectfully requests that this Court set the matter for Termination Hearing, at which time Ms. Christy Rhotenberry’s parental rights should be terminated, as they relate to the Minor Child in this matter.

ICW Coordinator
