Heading: child in need of special supervision

Text: Since VanAckeren's actions caused K.P. to become a [d]elinquent child under § 28-709(2)(a), it is unnecessary to address VanAckeren's argument that the definition of a child in need of special supervision in § 28-709(2)(b)(iii) is unconstitutionally vague. The Nebraska Supreme Court will not pass upon the constitutionality of legislation absent a need to do so in order to properly dispose of an action. State v. Torres, 254 Neb. 91, 574 N.W.2d 153 (1998). See, also, DeCoste v. City of Wahoo, 255 Neb. 266, 583 N.W.2d 595 (1998); State v. Austin, 209 Neb. 174, 306 N.W.2d 861 (1981).
