Syllabus

In this appeal from the trial court's judgment granting permanent custody of appellant's daughter, K.C., to Franklin County Children Services (\FCCS\), appellant acknowledged, and undisputed evidence established, that her daughter had been in the temporary custody of FCCS for 12 or more months of a consecutive 22-month period prior to the permanent-custody hearing. Clear and convincing evidence also supported the trial court's determination that an award of permanent custody to FCCS was in the child's best interest. Therefore, the trial court's judgment awarding permanent custody to FCCS pursuant to R.C. 2151.414(B)(1) was not against the manifest weight of the evidence.
