In Re Joseph D.

Syllabus

This appeal involves a petition to terminate parental rights. The juvenile court found by clear and convincing evidence that six grounds for termination existed as to the mother: (1) abandonment for failure to provide a suitable home (2) substantial noncompliance with a permanency plan (3) persistent conditions (4) severe child abuse (5) failure to manifest an ability and willingness to assume custody or financial responsibility and (6) mental incompetence. The juvenile court also found that termination was in the best interests of the child. The mother appeals. We affirm.
