Syllabus

The juvenile court did not err in granting permanent custody of the children to the children services agency where it was in the children's best interest. Although the children were in the agency's temporary custody for only 11 of 22 consecutive months when the Agency filed for permanent custody, Mother failed to make substantial progress in her case plan objectives and failed to remedy problems with mental health, substance abuse, employment, and stable housing, therefore the children could not be placed with Mother within a reasonable period of time. Additionally, the juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in denying Mother's motion for an extension of temporary custody.
