Concurring Opinion

LEMMON, J.,

concurs. The juvenile judge exercised jurisdiction without conducting an evidentiary hearing on the issue and without following the procedures of La.R.S. 13:1701 et seq. Before proceeding further, the juvenile judge should conduct an evidentiary hearing and determine whether to exercise jurisdiction. See La.R.S. 13:1713(A) and McGough & Hughes, Charted Territory: The Louisiana Experience with the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, 44 La.L.Rev. 19, 44 (1983).
