Syllabus

Under R.C. 2151.414(B)(1)(a), a trial court may grant a motion for permanent custody if it finds, by clear and convincing evidence, that this is in the best interests of the child and that the child cannot or should not be placed with either of the child's parents within a reasonable time. The trial court is to consider the factors in R.C. 2151.414(E) to determine whether the child cannot or should not be placed with either parent in a reasonable amount of time.
