In Re Kenya H.

Syllabus

This appeal concerns the termination of a father's parental rights. The Tennessee Department of Children's Services (\DCS\) filed a petition in the Juvenile Court for Hamilton County (\the Juvenile Court\) seeking to terminate the parental rights of George C. (\Father\) to his minor child Kenya H. (\the Child\). After a trial, the Juvenile Court entered an order terminating Father's parental rights. Father appealed. We reverse the grounds of substantial noncompliance with the permanency plan and willful failure to visit, but affirm the ground of wanton disregard. We further affirm that termination of Father's parental rights is in the Child's best interest. The judgment of the Juvenile Court is affirmed, in part, and reversed, in part.
