How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that the fact that parents may be morally blameless is not sufficient when psychological incapacity makes it impossible for them to adequately care for a child
  • finding that the first prong was satisfied where a mother was incapable of parenting and managing stress due to her significant mental health diagnoses
  • noting that a parent must actively work to improve himself or herself through the services offered by the Division
  • stating that blamelessness of a mentally ill parent \is not sufficient to tip the scale in [his or her] favor\ if the illness impairs the ability to parent
  • noting mental illness of a parent may create an environment where the parent is incapable of safely caring for the children
  • affirming an order terminating a mother's parental rights to her son because the expert medical testimony clearly established the mother's lengthy history of mental illness prevented her from raising her son
