By terminating mother's parental rights w/out finding detriment to C, court violated mother's DP rights; placing C with someone other than noncustodial parent also required detriment finding; new judge to be appointed.

Court of Appeal would not recount evidence that supported mother's position (reargument) in order to reevaluate the conflicting, competing evidence and revisit juvenile ct.'s failure-of-proof conclusion.
