In Re Demarkus T.
Syllabus
This appeal arises from the termination of Mother's and Father's parental rights with respect to their two minor children. The children were removed from the parents' custody by the Department of Children's Services (\DCS\) in July 2013 after investigators responded to a call where the children's sibling was found deceased at home. DCS filed a petition to terminate the parental rights of Mother and Father on the grounds of severe abuse and best interests. The trial court found clear and convincing evidence of grounds supporting termination and that termination of their parental rights was in the best interests of the children. Mother and Father separately appealed. After review, we affirm the trial court.
Judges: Presiding Judge Frank G. Clement, Jr.
