In Re Kamyiah H.

Syllabus

A mother appeals the trial court's decision to terminate her parental rights based on the grounds of (1) abandonment by wanton disregard, (2) persistence of conditions, (3) sentenced to two or more years' imprisonment for conduct against a child, (4) incarcerated under a sentence of ten or more years, and (5) failure to manifest an ability and willingness to assume custody and financial responsibility. She further challenges the trial court's finding by clear and convincing evidence that termination of her parental rights was in the best interest of the child. Finding that the trial court failed to make sufficient findings of fact for the failure to manifest an ability and willingness ground, we vacate that termination ground. We affirm the trial court's decision in all other respects.

Judges: Judge Andy D. Bennett
