In Re Frederick S.
Syllabus
Mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her child. The juvenile court found three statutory grounds for termination: (1) abandonment by failure to establish a suitable home (2) persistence of conditions and (3) mental incompetence. The court also found that termination of Mother's parental rights was in the child's best interest. We conclude that the record contains clear and convincing evidence to support two of the three statutory grounds for termination. We further conclude that the record contains clear and convincing evidence that termination is in the child's best interest. So we affirm the termination of Mother's parental rights.
