(2) When a deferred prosecution is ordered pursuant to a
petition brought under RCW 10.05.020(2) and the court has

dismiss the charges pending against the petitioner: PROVIDED,
That in any case where the petitioner's parental rights have been
terminated with regard to the alleged victim due to abuse or
neglect that occurred during the pendency of the deferred
