CHILDREN – CUSTODY: The trial court did not err in awarding permanent custody of the child to the Hamilton County Department of Job and Family Services and terminating mother's parental rights where the record demonstrated that the juvenile court considered the appropriate factors and the evidence supported the court's decision. [But see DISSENT: Where the magistrate's and the trial court's decisions terminating mother's parental rights presented required findings on only three of the five obligatory best-interest factors, and evidenced legal error on the final factor, the judgment must be reversed and the cause remanded for the juvenile court to make the proper findings of fact and conclusions of law.]
