HEARN, C.J., CURETON, A.J., and GOOLSBY, A.J., concur.
[1] Effective June 16, 2008, the General Assembly amended the Code of Laws of South Carolina by adding Title 63, the South Carolina Childrens Code, and transferring all provisions of Title 20, Chapter 7 to Title 63. See Act No. 361, 2008 S.C. Acts 3623 (stating the transfer and reorganization of the code provisions in this act are technical . . . and are not intended to be substantive). Because Title 63 has not yet been bound, all citations to the statute refer to Title 20.
[2] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
