Parental right permanent custody legal custody best interest of the child. Our review indicates that the juvenile court properly engaged in the two-prong analysis set forth in R.C. 2151.414 and that clear and convincing evidence supports the court's decision granting permanent custody of the children to the agency. While mother moved for legal custody to maternal grandmother, the issue in this case is whether permanent custody should be granted to the agency, not whether legal custody should be granted to maternal grandmother. If permanent custody to the agency is in the children's best interest, legal custody to a relative necessarily is not.
