In Re Dezeray H.

Syllabus

This action involves the termination of a mother's parental rights to her minor child. Following a bench trial, the court found that clear and convincing evidence existed to establish the following statutory grounds of termination: (1) abandonment by failure to visit (2) abandonment by failure to support (3) abandonment by failure to provide a suitable home (4) substantial noncompliance with the permanency plans (5) the persistence of conditions which led to removal (6) severe child abuse and (7) failure to manifest an ability and willingness to assume custody of the child. The court also found that termination was in the best interest of the child. We affirm the trial court's ultimate termination decision.
