Syllabus

The juvenile court's decision to grant a children services agency permanent custody of a minor child was supported by clear and convincing evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the agency demonstrated the child had been in the agency's custody for more than 12 months of a consecutive 22-month time period, the child could not be reunified with his mother within a reasonable period of time due to the mother's ongoing drug dependency issues, mental health and behavioral problems, and her failure to complete case plan requirements, and it was in the child's best interest for permanent custody to be granted to the agency.
