Syllabus

Permanent custody; R.C. 2151.414(E); R.C. 2907.05 and 2919.22(A). Juvenile court's finding that the child had not been in the custody of the agency for 12 months out of the past 22 consecutive months and that the child could not and should not be returned to the custody of the parent was supported by clear and convincing evidence where there was a documented history of substance abuse; appellant was in jail for a crime where the victim was one of the child's siblings; and the crimes were in violation of R.C. 2907.05 and 2919.22(A). Additionally, the juvenile court was not required to extend temporary custody for the full two years, where the record did not support a finding that the parent had made significant progress on the case plan, or that there was reasonable cause to believe that the child would be reunified with the parent within the extension period.
