CHILDREN – CUSTODY – R.C. 2151.414 – BEST INTEREST: The juvenile court did not err in granting permanent custody of mother's children to the Hamilton County Department of Job and Family Services where the court determined that the children cannot or should not be placed with either parent within a reasonable time and that permanent custody was in the children's best interest where mother was incarcerated at the time of disposition, had previously had her parental rights involuntarily terminated, and had a history of aggressive behavior and unaddressed mental health challenges, and where the children were thriving in the current placements, and had never been in mother's custody.
