In Re Amora S.
Syllabus
This appeal involves the termination of a father's parental rights. The child was placed into the custody of the Tennessee Department of Children's Services (\DCS\) in May 2019. DCS subsequently filed a petition to terminate the father's parental rights in the Hamblen County Juvenile Court (\Juvenile Court\). Following trial, the Juvenile Court entered an order terminating the father's parental rights to the child, upon its finding by clear and convincing evidence that the father had failed to manifest an ability and willingness to parent the child, that returning the child to the father's custody would pose a risk of substantial harm to the child's psychological welfare, and that termination of the father's parental rights was in the child's best interest. Discerning no reversible error, we affirm.
