In re Annabella S.

Syllabus

The respondent mother appealed from the trial court's judgment terminat- ing her parental rights with respect to her minor child. The mother claimed that the court's failure to canvass her in accordance with In re Yasiel R. (317 Conn. 773) required reversal of the judgment pursuant to the plain error doctrine. Held: This court determined that reversal was not warranted under the plain error doctrine, as the respondent mother failed to demonstrate that the trial court's error in failing to canvass the mother in accordance with In re Yasiel R. resulted in fundamental unfairness or manifest injustice.
