The Iowa Supreme Court ruled that a district court erred in dismissing Heather Schott’s petition for custody and support, saying she is the children's legal parent and the district court had jurisdiction to rule. It returned the case to determine custody and physical care, noting the adoptions were treated as a second parent adoption.

High court clears nurse in dependent adult abuse case
The Iowa Supreme Court vacated an appeals court ruling and sided with a district court finding Kim Wyatt did not commit dependent adult abuse. Wyatt, a nurse at University Hospitals Iowa City, used a pillow to muffle a patient’s screams during a 2004 IV needle incident, claiming she aimed to protect another patient. Her name will be removed from the dependent adult abuse registry.
