Description
MATTHEWS, Justice. The three children involved in this case have been in the custody of the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services,
Division of Family and Youth Services (Department) since 1988. Their mother, A.H., has been an alcohol and drug abuser for
a long time. Their father, K.W.P., is a convicted murderer who is serving a thirty-year sentence in a minimum security Washington
state prison. In 1991 the Department placed the children with their paternal grandmother, Lee, who lives in Washington. The
Department entrusted to Lee the decision as to whether the children should be allowed to visit their father in prison. She
took them to visit him about once every two months. In April 1992 the State petitioned to have Lee appointed guardian of the
children. The children's mother did not object to the appointment, but contended that Lee should be precluded from allowing
the children to visit with their father. The superior court appointed Lee the children's guardian, and ordered that she could
not allow visitation more frequently than twice a year. The father has appealed this limitation. 1
