(1954) An appeal from a juvenile court judgment finding minor delinquent in that he committed burglary and larceny is not within the jurisdiction of the supreme court either as a case of felony or as a civil case where the state is a party. State v. Harold, 364 Mo. 1052, 271 S.W.2d 527.
(1955) Where information charged that nine minor children were neglected and judgment ordered one removed from parents' home and took question as to the other children under advisement, the case was not disposed of and appeal was premature. State v. Couch (A.), 285 S.W.2d 42.
(1956) The determination of the status of the child and the determination of the question of commitment are separate and distinct proceedings, each terminating in a final judgment from which an appeal lies. In re Juvenile Delinquency Appeal (A.), 289 S.W.2d 436.
(1958) A juvenile proceeding is not a criminal case but partakes of a "civil" character so that on appeal reviewing court is not required to examine record in light of motion for new trial as required by § 547.270, RSMo. In re C . . . . . . . (A.), 314 S.W.2d 756.
(1962) Appeal by parents from judgment terminating parental rights is authorized by section 211.261. In re Burgess (A.), 359 S.W.2d 484.
