In Re Jase P.

Syllabus

This appeal arises from the termination of a father's parental rights. The Tennessee Department of Children's Services (\DCS\) filed a petition against Anthony G. (\Father\) in the Juvenile Court for Knox County (\the Juvenile Court\) seeking to terminate Father's parental rights to his son, Jase P. (\the Child\). Father had been incarcerated and unable to parent the Child since the Child's birth. After a trial, the Juvenile Court terminated Father's parental rights on the grounds of wanton disregard and various grounds coming under the putative father statute at Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-1- 113(g)(9)(A). Father appeals. We affirm all grounds for termination found against Father. We further affirm that termination of Father's parental rights is in the Child's best interest. We, therefore, affirm the judgment of the Juvenile Court in its entirety.

Judges: Judge D. Michael Swiney
