Syllabus

The trial court did not commit plain error by conducting its Indian Child Welfare Act manner in the way that it did. The decision to grant Franklin County Children Service's motion for permanent custody was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Based on the totality of the evidence before it, the trial court did not commit plain error in determining that the child was unable to express his wishes. It was not plain error to admit the caseworker's testimony regarding appellant's drug screen results because the decision to grant permanent custody was supported by substantial other admissible evidence.
