Permanent custody R.C. 2151.414 Indian Child Welfare Act. The juvenile court did not err in granting permanent custody of the children to the Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services because the children cannot be placed with either parent within a reasonable time or should not be placed with either parent, and permanent custody was in the children's best interest. The juvenile court did not err in finding that the children have no known Native American ancestry that would render them eligible for tribe membership. The agency was not obligated to treat the children as Indian Children under the Indian Child Welfare Act.
